What this bill would do
The Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2025 aims to require enforcement against misbranded egg alternatives. It establishes that a food can only use market names for eggs or egg products if it meets specific criteria. Under this bill, a food is only considered an egg if it is the reproductive output of avian poultry species, including an albumen or yolk that was encased in a calcium-based shell. The Act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to implement these standards. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue specific guidance regarding these enforcement changes.
