Of course they are, Bart. There's no calcium in coconut milk (er, Malk)!

I thought this might be the result of FDA direction limiting "milk" to ruminants, but it looks like the latest guidance (2023) is plant-based milk can still be called "milk" as long as it mentions it nutritional differences from dairy milk.

https://www.fda.gov/...

I'm sorry I'm like this, guys.

All this tells me is that plant-based milk has a lobby that can match the dairy lobby.

Soy? Yes, there is quite a fucking lot of soy farming and money in it

How is that progressive? If you want to let companies label their products as plant based 'milk' or 'meat' when they aren't milk or meat then what happens if they start labeling things as 'plant-based' or 'vegan' when they contain animal products?

The nutrition part of that is a separate issue. FDA recommends that a product calling itself oat milk and having a materially different nutrient profile from dairy milk voluntarily identify relevant nutritional differences

But they still have to say OAT MILK or SOY MILK. They are just allowed to use the term MILK itself after. Otherwise it would be "OAT MILK-LIKE PRODUCT" or something similarly stupid.

This is just saying they can call SOY MILK that, not that they can pass it off as MILK with ingredients: Soy...

Sorry, European here, so no clue about the fda recommendations. But in the EU they can't call it soy milk, oat milk.. they call it soy drink, oat drink.. and so on, which is, in my opinion, a bit more accurate since it didn't come out of the mammary glands of any animal. Being basically water and sugar, it would be like calling a coke cola milk.

Saw this in a local organic food store a couple years ago. I guess I'm surprised to see it in Costco, though.
