Allowed?

  Ya in Europe it’s not “allowed” commercially to call anything which is not an animal milk a milk. https://www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/european-court-rules-plant-based-products-cant-use-dairy-terms.html https://www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/european-court-rul...

    It's not limited to cows, but it needs to come from an animal.

    Sure it is. Here's in EU coconut milk: https://hjem.foetex.dk/produkt/kokosmaelk-max-18-fedt-oeko/60281501-ea/ https://hjem.foetex.dk/produkt/kokosmaelk-max-18-fedt-oeko/6... And another EU retailer selling goat milk: https://naturkost-odense.dk/product_info.php?products_id=202 https://naturkost-odense.dk/product_info.php?products_id=202

      Animal milk is ok but coconut milk is an exception I guess. I don’t really know why.

        Because with its long history as a food, coconut milk is widely know to be called "milk" for its colour. It was not traditionally used as a replacement for milk, it stood on its own as a food source. These new products are designed to replace actual milk for use in consumption. So there does entail danger of confusion, hence, the restriction on calling them milk.
