FILE - In this Nov. 2, 2017, file photo, Cameron McNamee, Ohio Board of Pharmacy director of policy and communications, speaks at a news conference. The Ohio Pharmacy Board announced July 29, 2020, a prohibition on prescribing hydroxychloroquine for individuals with COVID-19. The board reversed itself one day later at the request of Gov. Mike DeWine. The pharmacy board received more than 1,400 emails and more than 400 voicemails in a day. The responses reviewed by The Associated Press show people furious that the board placed the drug off limits. McNamee said the pharmacy board is now reassessing its decisions. He acknowledged that &quot;people were maybe a little perturbed that we came between them and their doctor.&quot; (AP Photo/Andrew Welsh-Huggins, File)

In this Feb. 11, 2009, file photo, a shopper looks over the milk aisle at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier, Vt. Soy and almond drinks don’t come from cows, so regulators may soon ask them to stop calling themselves “milk.” The Food and Drug Administration signaled plans to start enforcing a federal standard that defines “milk” as coming from the “milking of one or more healthy cows.” That would mark a change for the agency, which has not aggressively gone after the proliferation of plant-based drinks labeled as “milk.” (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, File)
