Even actual yoghurt can't say yoghurt. It has to say mild yoghurt, on some technicality.

That sounds like industry lobbying got the better of them, we have similar fights going on here around calling things plant "milk" or "butter" and the rest. What a shame, I can't imagine it's a lot of fun having to forensically examine every item on the shelf.
Second order effects of well intentioned regulation. As is tradition.
