Abstract

In the decision relating to Case C-422/16, Verband Sozialer Wettbewerb eV v TofuTown.com GmbH, the European Court of Justice set a limit on the practice of using the terms “milk” or “dairy” to designate products which are purely plantbased. This article will explore the reasoning underlying this decision and will focus on some possible criticisms. In fact, although potentially innovative, this decision falls short of dealing with repercussions regarding the discipline of consumer protection.
