Same. I've also seen non-food products like detergents that weren't even vegetarian labeled as "plant based". Many companies seem to use the term as synonym for "contains some amount of plant stuff", making it entirely meaningless.

The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
