FEDERAL COURT BLOCKED THE STATE OF ARKANSAS LAW MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO LABEL ITEM VEGGIE BURGERS

A federal court blocked the state of Arkansas from enforcing its meatlaw that doesn’t allow companies to use words like “burger, and “roast” to describe products that are not made from animals, such as veggie burgers, even if modified by qualifiers such as “vegan,” “veggie,” or “plant-based.” For information, see: https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/arkansas-made-it-illegal-call-veggie-burger-burger-were-suing
