A lot of things, actually. Milk is so clearly and consistently marked as an allergen that I'll often as a vegan just check the allergens if I don't have any reason to suspect the use of meat products, meat byproducts, honey, or non-allergenic dairy ingredients.

I would probably still do a double-take and check the ingredients here, but with the movement to plant-based alternatives, you never know if someone who treats this the same way I do as basically a gold standard (because that's what it's supposed to be) will simply take it at face value. It's also plausible that someone without strong English literacy but with such an allergy would rely solely on the basic allergen label rather than trying to parse more complicated English words.

The reason it has to be strictly enforced like this too is that if you justify this as "well everyone knows ~~it's Butters~~ butter, so it doesn't really need a label", then it's not as trustworthy and therefore efficient to those who need it, and it risks drawing a line where not everyone is on the same page.

That's VEGAN butter, Not BUTTER. Its only been the past 10-20 years where food products started trying to be things they aren't. Be more like mardrine and say I can't believe it's not butter

Wrong like you are about a lot of shit

And I don't use fake butter, coconut oil and butter are where it's at

Wrong about what? It's objectively not spelled "mardrine", and boomerism is being used here colloquially as an attitude, not a generation.

Thanks for butting in, your reply is adding lots to this conversation that doesn't involve you.

And thanks for reiterating what has already been stated. Very helpful

Almond milk has been around since at least the 13th century. Do you take issue with almond milk calling itself "milk", and if so, do you need a refresher on arithmetic?
