    Thank you EU for working on the things that truly matter! Not since the fascists “tramezzino” have we had such useful policing of words.

    On the upside, now I can confidently avoid anything labelled burger and sausage.

      OMG you’re right. This is backdoor piecemeal vegan labeling.

      This give me an idea. Maybe we can actually get universal vegan labeling if we couch it as a WARNING LABEL. Careful! This is vegan!

        That would be an amazing law to see passed.

        “Its maddening! They’ve even got vegan apples nowadays. Something as ancient and simple as apples and they’ve gone and made them all vegan,” they will say.

          Did you know that there is vegan food hiding unlabelled in your supermarket? Many popular brands and products are so-called ‘accidentally vegan’. Your favourite cookies might be sneaking vegan food into your family’s home. Demand that lawmakers legislate this vegan menace with clear labeling of all vegan products!

        Well… the restriction is for vegan food not being labeled as burger/sausage, but it does not legally prevent someone from calling something a non-burger or non-sausage and still have meat in it.
