Defines "natural cheese" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The CURD Act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define "natural cheese." This definition aims to ensure transparency and consistency for consumers, allowing them to distinguish between natural cheese and processed cheese. The term "natural cheese" has been used in the cheese-making industry for over 50 years and is well-established. The bill specifies that natural cheese is produced by coagulating milk protein and partially draining the whey, resulting in a concentration of milk protein.
