Nearly 80k pounds of butter recalled because of missing label "contains milk"

I am extending the argument on semantics:

What does "Milk" mean in the context of "Contains Milk"

Is almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk included?

Milk of magnesia?

I think the assumption is that if it doesn't have a modifier, it's dairy milk. Otherwise, it would have one of the modifiers you listed.

And I expect that the proliferation of things that are called "milk" that are not dairy milk is part of the reason things are labeled "CONTAINS: Milk" when they contain dairy milk (as milk does), and "CONTAINS: Nuts" when they contain almonds (as almond "milk" does), and so on.

Hopefully the same common-sense assumption can also be applied then to "butter" as well?
