Big Dairy petitions to add unlabeled, hidden artificial sweeteners

In the latest of Big Food's seemingly endless jaw-dropping incidents, Big Dairy is petitioning the FDA to change the definition of milk. They want to add sweeteners and artificial sweeteners to a multitude of dairy products, but still call it milk, thus avoiding any label changes. If they get their wish, the only way the consumer would know if their dairy products are sweetened or artificially sweetened would be to taste it!

Here is the petition: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/02/20/2013-03835/flavored-milk-petition-to-amend-the-standard-of-identity-for-milk-and-17-additional-dairy-products
