SA 1203. Mr. LEE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to
amendment SA 948 proposed by Mr. Shelby to the bill H.R. 3055, making
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science,
and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and
for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place in title VII of division B,
insert the following:
Sec. __.  None of the funds appropriated by this Act to the
Food and Drug Administration may be used to enforce standards
of identity with respect to a food that would be considered
adulterated under section 402 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342) or misbranded under section 403
of such Act (21 U.S.C. 343) for the sole reason that the
labeling of such food contains a common or usual name of
another food, provided that the name of such other food on
the label is preceded by a prominently displayed qualifying
prefix, word, or phrase that identifies--
(1) an alternative plant or animal source that replaces
some or all of the main characterizing ingredient or
component of such other food; or
(2) the absence of a primary characterizing plant or animal
source, or of a nutrient, allergen, or other well-known
component, that is ordinarily present in such other food.
