Defines "natural cheese" in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The Codifying Useful Regulatory Definitions Act, also known as the CURD Act, amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define "natural cheese." The definition specifies that natural cheese is a ripened or unripened soft, semi-soft, or hard product produced by coagulating milk protein and draining whey. It excludes pasteurized process cheeses. The bill also mandates that any food labeled as "natural cheese" must meet this definition. This change aims to provide consumers with clear and consistent information about cheese products.
