The FDA is considering a plan that would allow the dairy industry to add the sweetener aspartame to milk without having to label it. The plan is coming under fire from some farmers and some consumer groups.
Under current FDA regulations, any additions to milk have to be prominently displayed on the packaging.
One organic dairy farmer told Fox News Channel’s Douglas Kennedy, “Aspartame is a known carcinogen – leave the milk alone!”
Consumer groups have inundated the FDA with complaints about the proposal.
