Labeling
The Plant Based Foods Association opposes any policy effort to restrict the use of commonly understood terms for plant-based alternatives to animal products.
PBFA’s Standards Committee works to create voluntary industry standards for labeling of various sub-categories of plant-based foods.
- We released our standards for plant-based milks in July 2018. You can read our blog post on that here and the latest standards here.
- We released our standards for plant-based meats in December 2019. You can read our blog post on that here and the latest standards here.
- We released our standards for plant-based yogurts in May 2020. You can read our blog post on that here and the latest standards here.
