The REAL Butter Act requires truthful labeling of lab-created butter products.
The REAL Butter Act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to mandate that products marketed as butter but made from synthesized milkfat must be labeled as "lab-created butter" or "contains lab-created butter." This ensures consumers are informed about the non-agricultural origins of the milkfat in these products. The bill defines "synthesized butter product" and aims to promote consumer choice by requiring clear labeling.
