Form or content? The controversy over the names of vegetable products is divided when the EU Parliament begins discussions in the fall of 2025.
It is possible that in the future only sausages containing meat can be called sausages. Pete anikari
We previously reported that the EU Parliament does not accept calling a vegetable sausage as a sausage.
In addition, names such as steak, clip, sausage or hamburger should, according to the EU Parliament, be reserved exclusively for products containing meat and excluding cellular products. Thus, in the future, vegetarian cuts, steaks or hamburger should no longer be sold.
The EU Parliament will launch a discussion with the Member States on October 14, 2025.
We asked the readers’ opinion that the EU Parliament would no longer want vega sausages and the like with an animal title called. Most are delighted with this policy. Readers commented on, among other things, this.
– Dear news!
– Completely agree.
– That’s right. Why does a vegetarian want to name his food in the style of “meat” when it is not? The nickname Vuusto ponders.
– Really good reform. The meat is meat and vegetable from the plant and the products to be manufactured should not be appointed by the same names. And the oat drink is not milk.
– I agree, meat is meat and vegetable vegetable.
– This is exactly what I have wondered. The sausage is not a vegetable, the steak is not a vegetable, says Peku.
– Completely reasonable for some products.
– Right! Meat products are meat products and the vegetable is a vegetable. The cabbage does not get steak, even if it would bake in a pan, let alone any ultra -processed bean crumb, which has been made “meat -like”. Finally, this is addressed, comments the nickname mixed eater.
– Just the right decision. Rarely make such good decisions.
– I have not understood why vegetables cannot be vegetables, sausage sausage and steaks meat. After all, the vegetables are, why not mimic the meat and market with the wrong titles? Asks the nickname Raminex.
– Really great news. That’s what it must be. No sausage can be called goods that are not a sausage. By the way, the name of the sausage could sell cheese, ice cream, pastries, etc., which looks like a sausage. I’ve been waiting for this for 15 years.
However, others disagree.
– If the “sausage” were only thought of as a form: then the word vegamus can immediately see where it was made. Then could be a meat sausage. After all, we have a meatloaf, a fishing fishery, etc. I do not understand why the word sausage is dedicated to products that supposedly contain meat, comments the nickname Vege sausage.
– Sadly, sausage can be Maggara and Kebab Vebab, the word milk is used in the language of the oatmeal, so it is just the one and the name they are sold. The shape determines the word used in the colloquial language, comments the nickname Oat.
– What does it matter? People can do unnecessary things. The sausage is a sausage, if it looks like a sausage, the steak is a steak. Personally, I eat both meat and vegetable versions and do vegetable steaks, etc. The name means form, not content, comments the nickname X.
– If you really think about it, the sausage, cake and steak indicate the forms of the products. Everyone knows the shape of the product with that name when it comes to this: no matter what it contains, comments the nickname Msto.
-It’s stupid to deny the names vegetable clip, sausage, steak and hamburger. They are descriptive words that can express what the product is like when the product has a vegetable version, calls the nickname with a vegetable acid.
