After a challenge by vegan brand Tofurky, a federal court in Louisiana halted the enforcement of a labeling law that would fine the company $500 daily for every use of terms such as “plant-based burger” and “meatless sausage.”
Miyoko’s Creamery filed the lawsuit after the California Department of Food and Agriculture demanded the brand remove “dairy” and “butter” from its clearly vegan labeled packaging and take down a photo of a woman hugging a rescued cow from its website.
