It actually is allowed for German "Scheuermilch" ("scouring cream", which is a cleaning detergent, literal translation: "scrubbing milk").

The law only addresses agricultural products but yeah there are exceptions for products that were traditional before the law was passed

Oh hell. I've been drinking Scheuermilch! I thought it was a bit crunchy

But his name doesn't come from Scheuermilch, it's rather an abbreviation of "bescheuert" - bonkers.
