I always assume plant based means vegan but we want to sell to angry people.
I would be upset if it came to mean carnist food + greenwashing.
I should check Australia's stance on whether the label is regulated.
It either isn't or it's not done properly as I've seen lots of 'plant based' stuff here with egg and honey in it. It's a huge step backwards as anything can slap 'plant based' on it whereas a lot of the older vegan products had to pay to get certified as vegan and that actually meant something.

It’s only plant-based if it is completely made from plants. Unfortunately health Canada does not regulate the label so I have to do a double take and hope I don’t drop my jaw in horror.
