How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

This got me curious so I looked up the nutrition page on Tesco's website... The two main ingredients are water and tomatoes lol
INGREDIENTS: Water, Tomato, Rapeseed Oil, Onion, Modified Maize Starch, Avocado (3.5%), Soured Cream (Milk) (3%), Lime Juice from Concentrate, Lemon Juice from Concentrate, Whey Powder (Milk), Sugar, Garlic Purée, Jalapeño Chilli (1%), Coriander Leaf, Dried Egg Yolk, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Salt, Colours (Lutein, Copper Complexes of Chlorophyllins), Stabilisers (Xanthan Gum), Dried Red Pepper, Glucose Syrup, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).
at least they're up front about their bullshit. unlike "american cheese" that has "pasteurized processed cheese product" in fine print. or "ice cream" with "frozen dairy product" in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a "chocolatey chip" frappuccino instead of "chocolate chip," because the ingredients didn't fit the legal definition of chocolate
i'm also impressed they called it "rapeseed oil" instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that
edit: ok, "canola oil" is a stupid americas thing--i withdraw my impressedness
In Swiss, Milk alternatives like oat milk, aren't allowed to contain "milk" in the name, because they're not milk.
Honestly, I think thats just nonsense.
Everyone is very much aware that Oat Milk and Soy Milk and all the other non-dairy milks don't have any cow juice in them
Just the name itself makes it clear.
It's as equally stupid, in my opinion, as the argument that we shouldn't call a vegetarian or vegan burger a "burger" because people might think it has meat when it doesn't.
It's all a play by the dairy and meat industries to make vegan alternatives sound unappetising, and it's very transparent.
What about coconut milk? (Or is it just not called that anyway)
