Dairy product board: dairy products can only be purely of animal origin

Only products of animal origin can be called dairy products and can be marketed according to the decision of the European Court of Justice – Harcz Zoltán, Chairman of the Milk Interprofessional Organization and Product Board told M1 news channel on Monday.

He added: since every dairy product has a plant alternative, it is important to separate them from true dairy products. Vegetable-based products can not be called butter, milk or sour cream, he said. The decision of the EU court also contains exceptions, such as the use of coconut milk or quince cheese. (MTI)
