The proposal was rejected by the EU parliament, however - note the thing about dairy alternatives

MEPs voted down the proposed veggie burger ban amendment – with 379 against, 284 for and 27 abstentions – after deciding that consumers are not misled by vegan meat names.

However, in a surprise move, MEPs also voted to ban any indirect reference to dairy products for plant-based foods, meaning that descriptions such as 'yoghurt-style' or 'cream imitation' will not be allowed.
