It's legal, no problems with that. The problems will be with a domain like CampbellSoup.com

Perfectly legal.
I had a similar domain (flavour of alcohol) which appealed to the drinks industry. I emailed four relevant companies and one replied with interest...

The reason people are saying it is ok is because the domain is descriptive in nature.
