EU law will still prohibit plant-based suppliers from using terms such as ‘milk’, ‘butter’ or ‘yoghurt’ on their products
The plant-based industry has welcomed an EU decision to scrap a potential law that would have further restricted its use of dairy-related terminology and marketing terms.
Amendment 171, legislation brought forward by the EU Parliament in October 2020 for consideration by the EU Council and Commission, was withdrawn last Friday (21 May) after a trilogue between the EU Parliament, Council and Commission.
This decision came in the face of major opposition to the proposed law, not only from plant-based suppliers, but also from consumers. At the time of writing, more than 456,000 people had signed a petition calling for the legislation to be scrapped.
