Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund to celebrate a victory for plant-based foods, free speech, and consumers! In this webinar, ALDF attorneys Amanda Howell, Michael Swistara, and Morgan Boutilier will discuss a recent United States District Court victory that ruled that a Texas labeling law imposed burdensome standards on plant-based producers and cannot be enforced because it violates the First Amendment. Learn why this landmark ruling is important for consumers and plant-based food manufacturers nationwide, and why the Western District of Texas court rejected the myth of “consumer confusion.”
