  SA 3522. Mr. LEE (for himself and Mr. Booker) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 6147, making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior, environment, and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for 
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds appropriated by this Act to the 
     Food and Drug Administration shall be used to enforce 
     standards of identity with respect to a food that would be 
     considered adulterated or misbranded for the sole reason that 
     the labeling of such food contains a common or usual name of 
     another food, provided that the name of such other food on 
     the label is preceded by a prominently displayed qualifying 
     prefix, word, or phrase that identifies--
       (1) an alternative plant or animal source that replaces 
     some or all of the main characterizing ingredient or 
     component of such other food; or
       (2) the absence of a primary characterizing plant or animal 
     source, or of a nutrient, allergen, or other well-known 
     component, that is ordinarily present in such other food.
                                 ______
