Is anything other than cow’s milk even milk?!
2SM Radio x Dr Courtney Stewart
Dr Courtney Stewart joined Tim Webster for Breakfast on 2SM to discuss the ongoing debate around when a product can legally be called “milk”, following increased international attention on dairy terminology and plant-based alternatives.
During the interview, Dr Stewart explained the legal definition of milk and how this differs across regulatory frameworks, as well as how the discussion is evolving as more plant-based beverages enter the market.
The segment explored the different types of milk now available to consumers, including traditional dairy milk and plant-based options such as soy, almond and oat beverages. Dr Stewart discussed how these products differ nutritionally, particularly in terms of protein content and overall nutrient profiles.
She also addressed whether consumers are genuinely confused by the variety of milk products available.
This feature highlights Courtney’s expertise in food labelling regulation, dairy terminology and consumer perception, and her ability to translate complex regulatory and nutrition topics into practical insights for both industry and consumers.
