Makes sense. Here it applies to every other dairy product that has "milk" in their name in our language as well.

Sour cream is called "tejföl", where "tej" is milk. So fake sour cream is usually called things like "frissföl", friss meaning fresh.

Similarly with butter or margarine, if it doesn't meet the criteria they'll call it something like "breakfast spread" or "sandwich spread" instead of butter.

Cheap hotdog sausages with not enough meat content are usually labeled as "pork fingers" or "beef rods" or somthing similar.

I've seen fake cheese labeled as "pizza topping", it was like half the price of the next cheapest cheese.
