Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks
kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 19 hours agoHmm. I’m afraid this is where we’re going to disagree. I don’t agree milk needs a legal definition. I don’t agree that consumers need protection from the word ‘milk’ being attached to other products, especially plant based milks that are generally clearly labeled and have hundreds or more years of context in our language.
Hell. There’s ‘human milk’, ‘goat milk’, ‘yak milk’, etc.
If something needs to change, it should be that we need to now call it ‘cow milk’ and truly protect the consumer from confusion.

If I were a judge and you brought a suit against a dairy claiming they have to label their products cow’s milk and cited this case as precedent, I would find in your favor.
