The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has dismissed a lawsuit against various dairy branded manufacturers filed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. PCRM is an anti-meat, anti-dairy group whose campaigns and views are closely aligned with the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The court found that PCRM’s request for warning labels on milk relative to lactose intolerance 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.
