Cheese Group seeks labeling changes for cheese substitutes
The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association has urged the USDA to revise labeling rules to cover cheese and substitutes. WCMA cites pizza products with non-dairy ingredients and proposes that a product containing cheese plus substitutes be labeled as cheese and non-dairy analog, ensuring clear consumer guidance. The petition notes current meat substitute rules and urges parity for cheese products.

Water quality key to healthy poultry flocks, says UW expert
Poultry expert John Skinner warns water quality affects egg and meat production. Water minerals and bacteria, including nitrates and coliforms, can harm flocks. He notes 100 hens drink 5 to 7 gallons daily at 60 to 80 degrees, rising to over 15 gallons at 100 degrees. He urges regular water testing for flock health.
