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.
