Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule - eviltoast

I’ll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of “porridge water” or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it “milk” lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    RIP coconut milk.

    Funny that before oats and soy started gaining in popularity they had no problems with coconut milk.

      Yeah. And it is clear the court is not being unbiased. Given your comment.

      It seems likely that parliment could be convinced to rule on this with enough negativity. No legal restrictions exist on the name. The dairy industry has no trademark or claim of unique use or confusion.

      Parliment has the right to rule against this by act. if they agree. IE basically passing a law restricting courts from bias against long used language terminology.

      Honestly it would require folks to write to MPs pointing out the stupidity ans bias. But enough may be annoyed by this that such a movement can be formed.
