Dairy states push for Quality Cheese Act
Three dairy state Democrats in the Senate have introduced legislation that would prohibit products that contain dry ultra-filtered milk products, milk protein concentrate or casein from being labeled as domestic natural cheese. The bill, S. 827, is co-sponsored by Senators Russ Feingold (D-WI), Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
