Veggie burgers are still burgers, European Union says

Plant-based products that do not contain meat can continue to be labelled "sausages" or "burgers," European politicians said, as they rejected a proposal backed by the meat industry to ban the terms.

Europe's largest farmers' association had argued that the labelling of plant-based products was misleading for consumers.Europe's largest farmers' association, Copa-Cogeca, had supported a ban, arguing that labelling vegetarian substitutes with designations bringing meat to mind was misleading for consumers.

After the vote, the European Consumer Organisation, an umbrella group bringing together consumers' associations, praised the MEPs for their "common sense"."Consumers are in no way confused by a soy steak or chickpea-based sausage, so long as it is clearly labelled as vegetarian or vegan," the group said in a statement.

The EU prioritising world suffering issues again.
