Is cheese still “natural” if it contains yellow food dye? That's one of the many questions raised by the CURD Act.
This fall could deliver another round in a Washington food fight, as three congressmen last month re-introduced a bill that aims to define the term “natural cheese.”
The International Dairy Foods Association has pushed back on that concern related to the FDA’s process. “Because the term ‘natural cheese’ is used to define a general category or type of cheese product, it does not fall within the scope of this process and must be addressed separately. This proposed legislation does that,” said Dave Carlin, the trade group’s senior vice president for legislative affairs and economic policy, in a statement.
New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone helped prevent the CURD Act from passing the House in December, as he spoke against the measure and voiced the same concerns aired by consumer advocates and supporters of plant-based alternatives. A spokeswoman for Pallone, who is the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s chairman, didn’t respond to a question this week about whether his stance on the bill has changed.
