Tedious Process of Regulatory Approval in the Plant-based Milk Market
Plant based products, including plant-based milk are facing legal and regulatory restraints, which may result in the declining popularity of plant-based milk products. Plant based milk is facing legal and regulatory inspection as industry associations prevent manufacturers from using labels and terms that consumers find more relative. For instance, in 2017, The European Court of Justice ruled that, plant-based milk and other plant-based items can’t be described using dairy terms, like milk, even though their plant-based origins are marked. In the same year, in the United States, a bill titled the ‘Dairy Pride Act’ was presented in the Senate, to prevent plant-based food manufacturers from using dairy names or terms. The Senate Committee has still not approved the bill. However, the dairy business is pushing hard to get the bill passed. Coming up with terms that resound with customers without aggravating trade groups will go far toward enabling the acceptance of plant-based foods.
