Consumers have a right to both truth and transparency in food labeling. It’s time to peel back the label on deceptive marketing tactics.

This stuff drives me crazy @Tropicana!It’s all for profit and contributing to food confusion. Thanks @PeelBackLabel – at Los Angeles, CA
Why does @Tropicana include a “Non-GMO” label on their orange juice when there are no GM oranges? It’s certainly not about truth or transparency. It’s about capitalizing on consumer misconceptions for the sake of profit. #PeelBackTheLabel #NotBuyingIt bit.ly/2OnCoTh

Don't worry. There's still plenty of #butter. 🧈
If you haven't heard, there's a cream cheese shortage. So, Kraft is offering to reimburse thousands of holiday shoppers $20 each for desserts they bake or buy that don't contain cream cheese.

#Dairy’s unique nutrient package is hard to replace. It’s one of the most affordable and accessible nutrient sources, including many that are critically needed and under-consumed in human diets.

Released today by @USDA and @HHSGov, the the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reaffirms #dairy’s central role in the diet as a provider of essential nutrients that are often under-consumed in American diets. bit.ly/3rN4iNs

From #EU grocery shelves, to you: Where #milk is called milk and #plantbased is called plantbased. @nmpf nmpf.org/the-eu-makes-bevera…

This week’s #DairyDefined is a multi-lingual tour of alternative beverages, coming to you from the EU, where an oat drink is called … an oat drink.

We commend @RepBrindisi & @CongressmanGT for leading a bipartisan coalition of 55 House members urging @USDA & @HHSgov to consider recent science showing the health benefits of #dairy at all fat levels as the Dietary Guidelines are finalized.

In this week’s edition of #DairyDefined, we wrote an open letter to @US_FDA Commissioner @SteveFDA following up on his pledge to support “clear, transparent, and understandable labeling.” 🥛

Raise a 🥛 glass to another milestone year in #dairy demand! Increases in 🧀 and 🧈 use pushed per-capita U.S. dairy to its most popular year since 1960.

Last week, 16 Agriculture Commissioners sent a letter to @SteveFDA calling on @US_FDA to enforce its standards of identity for #dairy to protect consumers from "confusing" and "misleading" marketing tactics.

In flagrant disregard for @US_FDA rules and congressional statute, @CalifiaFarms CEO says he feels “confident using the term ‘plant butter’ on labels.”
Labeling standards are *not* voluntary and using standardized terms for a marketing gain is illegal.

It's not "almost" pay-to-play. It IS pay-to-play. Why else would they "certify" salt--a product without DNA--as a "non-GMO" product? ALL salt is non-GMO. @PeelBackLabel

It’s #NationalPopcornDay and a good chance to remind ourselves to not be fooled by marketing. All popcorn is non-GMO
Peel Back the Label retweeted
Oops, we missed #NationalPopcornDay, but did you know that there is no such thing as GMO popcorn? It just doesn't exist. It's a different kind of corn! Are you paying more for popcorn with a non-GMO label? Why? Learn more about GMOs at gmoanswers.com/

Too bad about that NonGMO label. I’ll pass @PeelBackLabel

Time for a Saturday @PeelBackLabel story. Spoke to my @RedRiverCoopLtd produce manager about this false @NonGMOProject labeling. Told him I worked for a company that is well-versed in GMO’s & that there are no GMO grapes on the market. #falseadvertising

A call: We're looking for examples of companies like @Chobani that do their labeling right and NOT calling their non-dairy imitators milks, cheese or yogurts, proving you can be both #plantbased and honest. See an example? Tweet it to us! We're compiling this week. Thanks!
