Is there any actual logic in this document that supports why producers of fortified almond juice can call their product Milk other than "some people call it milk already?"
- jfengel 4y agoSeeing as that's the same reason that people call mammary extract "milk", yes. Words are what people call things, neither more nor less.
- foxyv 4y agoIf they were just labeling it "Milk" or mixing it into cow milk without letting anyone know, then I would be skeptical. But it's always labeled as just "Almond Milk." I don't think anyone will be confused there. We've always just called it that. I can't think of any other logic necessary really. I mean, why do we call anything what we do? Other than, that's what everyone calls it. For instance, why can Milk producers call it just "Milk" and not "Cow Milk" as well? Because that's what everyone calls it!
- bombcar 4y agoPeople don't have an issue with peanut butter having "butter" in it even though it has no butter in it.
- sbelskie 4y agoWhy would producers be unable to call a product by its commonly used named absent evidence of any real confusion or significant harm?
- moeris 4y agoWhy wouldn't they be able to? A milk is just a consumable suspension. Look to milk of magnesia, milk of the poppy, etc. It has a long history of being used in a general sense.
