This Federal court battle in Arkansas over labeling restrictions banning the meatless meat companies from using the words, burger, roast, sausage and meat on their packaging. One would think Tyson, the biggest meat producer in the U.S. based in Arkansas, is behind this law.
It gets a little tricky though, as Tyson either recently released or is very soon to release a new product line, called Raised and Rooted, and their first product is a faux chicken meat product called, Nuggets made with Plants. The timing is ironic. And no sign of Tyson is on the label. A bit of disassociation? At least until this legal battle's outcome is determined one would guess.
Also worth noting, the final Federal court decision on this case could have a ripple effect nationwide, as other states have laws similar to this one, such as in Wisconsin "America's dairyland", trying to limit the usage of the word "milk" on the labeling in that state.
I can see why they don't want certain labels put on products. Someone sent to get milk for someone who has a nut allergy and they get almond milk. Problem. Someone sent to get a burger and they get a beef burger for someone who is veg/veg. For most, milk is from a cow. Yes there are different "milks" but in general if someone says milk, you think cow's milk. Same with a burger. Until it is common to ask for specific types of "milk" or "burger", then I completely understand why there are regulations.
Most here understand one from another, but there are many who can easily get confused. Same with beyond meat or impossible burger, if your not informed what would you think? McD's, BK, both have sold beef burgers for decades, why would some think differently. BTW, not everyone has internet and/or tv service.
Just my thoughts.
