      I mean, I don’t get it. It literally says “it’s not milk”.

      If this is not allowed, then are all warnings like “this is not a toy” also invalid because it says toy on the label?

      Je comprends pas pourquoi des gens mettent autant d’énergie là dessus. C’est pas comme si l’emballage des “laits” alternatifs était trompeur, en TT cas à la Coop & Migros.

      Y’a eu des cas de tromperie sur la marchandise vendue ?

      Mtn go lancer une pétition pour renommer les tomates cœur de bœuf 😛

      Et xeat donc la meme pour le lait de coco ? Ou le lait corporelle ou cest juste l’appellation lait en gros comme sur l’emballage en exemple ?

      Si ca peut aider certaines personnes à mieux dormir la nuit. On vote pour que ca s appelle Jus d avoine alors? Je suis tellement content de savoir que mes impôts partent dans de telles bêtises.

      Word Police are just getting ridiculous. No one is mixing up plant milk with animal milk nor meat alternatives with real meat. Is this supposed to be oat juice? Oat water? Coconut water is a different product from coco milk. What’s the alternative? Do we have to rename vegan cheese and vegan butter too? Where is the line?

      Good. Now those plant-based crybabies will start posting on LinkedIn on how there’s a mass conspiracy against them by big milk. Honestly, I’m tired of hamburgers not made of real meat and milk not made by cows. These are chemically extracted juices, nothing more, nothing less.

      I’m not sure but maybe milk rules are very strict in switzerland?
      I’ve noticed that some cow milk drinks are also not labelled as milk

      Je m’apelle velogstell (sorry 🙈)

      I absolutely also don’t understand the duality about this. Fromage d’italie, Fleischkäse, etc. Everything needs renaming

      Seeing as the Federal Tribunal is setting this precedent, surely someone should sue because of confusion around terms like Fleischkäse, Fromage d’Italie, Tête de Moine, Zuppa inglese, Teewurst, Nüsslisalat, Arancini… I could go on and on.

      This is a stupid decision that has no basis in reason.
