Last month a U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. dismissed a lawsuit by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)'s that requested lactose intolerance warning labels for milk.
The court found that PCRM's request was contrary to the Food and Drug Administration's labeling requirements and that there was no legitimate safety issue. PCRM has 30 days to appeal the decision.
"The ruling is a sound defeat for PCRM, a group whose views on nutrition have been repeatedly denounced by reputable science and health organizations," says IDFA V.P. of Communications Susan Ruland. "The judge sent a clear and strong message that PCRM's antics will not be entertained in court."
