Protecting Dairy Names: Milk is Milk, Not Plant-Based Drinks.

This new law aims to ensure that products sold as milk, yogurt, or cheese actually come from animals. This will help consumers make informed choices and ensure that these names do not mislead, especially regarding nutritional value. It means that plant-based beverages will not be able to be called "milk," "yogurt," or "cheese."
Key points
Plant-based products will not be allowed to use names like "milk," "yogurt," or "cheese" if they are not derived from animals.
The goal is to clearly distinguish between dairy products and their plant-based alternatives, so consumers know what they are buying.
Authorities will enforce these rules to prevent misleading claims about product composition and nutritional value.
