Oatly, Upfield and ProVeg International are some of the big vegan names behind the recent petition to stop Amendment 171 of EU law. The amendment sees the ban of dairy-related terms being used by plant-based alternatives. This extends to products being described as ‘like milk’, ‘buttery’ or even ‘creamy’ if they don’t contain dairy products. The vegan companies hope that by being allowed to continue using these terms it will allow consumers to make more educated and sustainable choices.
