OpEd: A Dairy Farmer's Dire Warning: The EATS Act is a Clear and Present Danger

Passage of the EATS Act threatens to dismantle the foundations of our dairy industry. State laws that have stood as bulwarks, ensuring milk quality and label transparency, are now in the crosshairs. Consider 'sell-by' date labeling laws, such as those passed at the state level. Those dates aren’t just letters and numbers on a carton - they're a lifeline of information about product freshness and safety. The EATS Act seeks to sever this lifeline, leaving consumers adrift and eroding trust in our industry.
