Lactose labeling suit filed

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an organization that promotes vegetarian diets, filed suit in Superior Court for Washington, DC, demanding that every milk carton bear a warning label aimed at lactose intolerance.

“Warning—Lactose Intolerant Individuals May Experience Bloating, Diarrhea, or other Gastrointestinal Discomfort From Consuming Milk. Check With Your Physician.” was the suggested label language. The group said blacks, Asians, and Hispanics are more likely to be lactose intolerant than others.
