This is even dumber when you realise Oatly is explicitly prompting themselves as not-milk.
That doesn't stop them from calling the product "oat milk" though does it?
You haven't been able to do that since 2017, the European Court of Justice said so.
They can't be called milk, but are under "dairy" (lacteos) on the supermarket. You can't make this shit up.
