SB 1279 - The act specifies criteria for when non-organic dairy products shall be considered misbranded, which are: when a compositional claim cannot be confirmed through laboratory analysis; when a compositional or production-related claim is supported only by sworn statements, affidavits, or testimonials; if the product label contains a statement that is false or misleading; if the product label states that the product was produced from cows not supplemented with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST); or when the label makes any claim regarding the composition of milk.
