Miyoko's Creamery lawsuit over product-labeling restrictions
Lawsuit filed
In 2020, the Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit on behalf of Miyoko's Creamery against the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The suit concerns the department's labeling demands for the brand's products. According to the filing, those labeling demands violate the brand's free-speech rights. The case centers on the dispute between the plant-based dairy company and the state agriculture department over how its products may be labeled.
