GMO etc is arguable but there’s limits around what you can call some things based around how they are made.
Not really I think, but it’s not uncommon to protect product by restricting production methods or ingredients to traditional ones. So name espresso could be legally restricted to only when it’s brewed in traditional way.
Black bean drink (compare to es×r××so).
