A manufacturer says law infringes on its constitutional right to freedom of speech. FMTNews FakeMeat

WASHINGTON: A US court has suspended a law banning makers of vegetarian substitute meals from using the word “meat” to describe their products, as trendy plant-based food companies push back against a wave of restrictions.

Tofurky, a maker of turkey-flavoured tofu snacks, filed a complaint the same month, saying the law infringed on its constitutional right to freedom of speech. Legal challenges against similar laws in Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana are also underway, spearheaded by the American Civil Liberties Union, vegetarian advocacy group the Good Food Institute and animal rights activists.
