'Veggie burgers' face grilling in EU parliament
Championed by green advocates as much as mindful eaters, the days of plant-based "steaks" and "veggie burgers" may be numbered under plans up for a vote in the European Parliament on Wednesday.
In the EU Parliament it is negotiated whether burgers and co. may still be called in future if substitutes such as soya are contained instead of meat. Critics warn against art concepts and lobbyism far away from everyday life for the meat industry. Chancellor Merz, on the other hand, can gain something from a possible ban.
Consumerists have criticised the fact that names such as "tofu sausage" or "soy snitch" are to be banned in the EU. The European Parliament wants to vote on a request on Wednesday.
Consumer protection organizations are opposing a ban on using terms like "soy cutlet" for vegan or vegetarian products. The European Parliament will vote on the matter on Wednesday.
Only if they contain meat, Burger Burger, Schnitzel Schnitzel and sausages should be called sausages. It remains unclear how one has been able to sleep quietly so far with all the taxonomic chaos.
On Wednesday, the European Parliament will vote on whether the names of meat dishes can continue to be used for vegetarian products. The European People's Party is already mobilising massively against vegetable chicken wings and sidecarvings.
