EU says vegan sausage OK but soy cheese isn't

EU already bans terms like milk, cheese, or butter for vegan products that don’t come from animals

What's in a name? EU moves to ban food terms such as ‘butter alternative’.

The European Parliament has approved an amendment that can further limit the names of plant-based dairy alternatives such as “cheese substitute” or “yogurt-style”, “butter alternative” or “creamy.”.

EU law already bans use of dairy terms like “milk,” “cheese” or “butter” for vegan products that don’t come from animal milk (barring some exceptions). “Almond milk” or “soy cheese” aren’t allowed, but “almond drink” would be.
