Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Stefanik, Elise M. [R-NY-21]

Introduced

Summary

Establishes a federal rule that only real eggs can be marketed with egg names across state lines. It would bar foods from being sold interstate under an egg or egg-product market name unless they meet a new legal definition added to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Show full summary
  • Producers and manufacturers: Producers of non-egg products would need to stop using egg market names for interstate sales unless their products meet the new federal definitions for "egg" and "egg product".
  • Consumers and retailers: Shoppers and stores would see consistent national definitions for "egg" and "egg product", which aims to reduce label confusion about egg-like foods.
  • Federal agencies and enforcement: The Food and Drug Administration must issue draft guidance within 180 days and final guidance within 1 year. The FDA, working with the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, must report to Congress within 2 years on actions taken, including warnings and penalties under 21 U.S.C. 333, and provide any updated plans if misbranded foods were on interstate sale.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

New national rules for egg labels

If enacted, foods shipped across state lines could not use egg names unless they are real eggs or defined egg products. "Egg" would mean the reproductive output of poultry birds, with the white or yolk that was in a calcium shell. Egg products would need to match FDA’s existing egg product standards. Businesses using egg terms on non-egg foods would need to relabel, reformulate, or stop interstate sales.

FDA timelines for egg label guidance

If enacted, FDA would issue draft guidance within 180 days on how it would enforce the new egg labeling rule. Final guidance would be due within 1 year. Any older FDA guidance that conflicts would stop applying on the date of enactment.
