Naming plant-based products in the UK
The UK retained the EU dairy-name restriction after Brexit, so 'milk' and 'cheese' remain reserved for dairy in sales names, enforced by Trading Standards with varying vigour. Meat-style names such as burger and sausage are permitted. There is no statutory definition of 'vegan' in UK food law: businesses rely on the Food Standards Agency's guidance on allergen cross-contamination and on voluntary schemes.
- Dairy names reserved; 'oat drink' and 'vegan alternative to cheese' are the standard workarounds
- Meat-style names permitted for plant-based products
- No legal definition of 'vegan' or 'plant-based' — the Vegan Trademark and V-Label are private standards
- 'May contain milk' precautionary labelling can legally appear on products marketed as vegan
- FSA consultation on vegan and precautionary allergen labelling is ongoing

Does UK law recognise animals as sentient?
Yes. The Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022 covers all vertebrates plus cephalopods and decapod crustaceans, and requires ministers to consider welfare when making policy.
Are cages for hens banned in the UK?
Only conventional barren cages. Enriched colony cages remain legal and still house a significant minority of UK hens, though retailer cage-free pledges are shrinking that share.
Can you sell 'vegan cheese' in the UK?
Not under that exact sales name — dairy terms remain reserved. Products are labelled as 'vegan alternative to cheese' or with a brand name plus a descriptor.
Are live animal exports banned?
Exports for slaughter or fattening from Great Britain were banned by the Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Act 2024. Movements within the UK and from Northern Ireland are treated separately.
How much does the UK spend on farm subsidies?
Around £3.5 billion a year across the four nations, moving in England from area-based payments to Environmental Land Management schemes by 2027.
