The European Parliament rejected a much-mocked attempt to ban companies from branding plant-based products with meaty names like "veggie burger".
"Their preposterous claims that consumers would be confused by the use of names such as burgers, sausages, schnitzels and mince on clearly labelled vegetarian meat substitutes, have been rightly rejected as disproportionate nonsense." "They're now muddying the debate on farming reform with a pointless vote on food names -- it's pathetic that the parliament wouldn't even stand up to the industrial agriculture lobbyists on this."
That is not a burger.
Good stuff. I was wondering if the farmers would get away with that one. But it looks like time up for beef.
Appropriation of dairy terms for commercial gain has long been banned in Europe. Based on UN Codex guidance, EU Law and European Court of Justice Judgements. Todays vote again rubber-stamps this. I have to check but i think countries can still protect meat terms.
What’s their opinion on peanut butter? Cream crackers? Fish fingers? Black pudding? Mincemeat? Lady fingers? Animal crackers? Hamburgers? Eggplant? There’s loads of food names that don’t match the food. There’s bigger problems in the world than vegan yogurt and vegan cheese.
If it says Vegan burger or veggie burger that should be ok. Labeling something impossible burger, miracle burger etc shouldn't. The default if not listed should be beef. If it's chicken, Turkey, lamb, veggie that should be in the title
