Evidence

The FDA's draft guidance said soy, oat, almond, and other plant-based drinks could continue using the term "milk" if they are clearly labeled by plant source, and the agency described the guidance as non-binding rather than an enforcement crackdown.

This is the clearest federal evidence on the issue found in search: rather than requiring enforcement against milk alternatives, FDA left the labeling permissive and only suggested clearer source labeling. That cuts against the claim and leaves it unresolved at best.

Assessments

In federal office context, full delivery would require John Joyce to secure or materially advance binding federal enforcement against plant-based beverages using dairy terms. The evidence points the other way: in 2023 the FDA said soy, oat, almond, and similar products could keep using the term "milk" if the plant source is clear, and the agency described that position as draft, non-binding guidance rather than an enforcement crackdown. That means the promised enforcement outcome was not achieved, and there is no evidence here that Joyce obtained a binding rule or enforcement action that fulfilled the promise.
