I am in strong favor a big prominent "contains animal products" label. It would make live so much easier.

It would make life easier in the same way if the words used to describe meat weren’t then also used to describe plants pretending to be meat

…you’re essentially supporting the intent behind this legislation

No, I am against the prohibition of common terms, I advocate for a stricter declaration of ingredients. "Milk" alone could be milk from any mammal, cow, goat, human. Steak could be a cut from any animal, that is why a the animal it is from is declared. Oat milk is called milk since centuries but now the industry fears competition and is publishing propaganda and pays lobbyism for restrictive laws.
