AI Summary
This bill amends the New Mexico Food Act to deem a food product as "misbranded" if its labeling contains the word "milk" but the product's ingredients do not consist of the whole, clean, lacteal secretion obtained from the milking of healthy mammals. The bill aims to prevent the misbranding of non-dairy products as milk. It also makes other technical changes to the existing law related to food labeling requirements.
