France Bans Vegetarians From Pretending Vegetarian Food Is Meat

When is a vegetarian sausage not a sausage? In France now they’ve brought in legislation to stop veggie foods from using meaty names.

 

In a move that may enrage foodies, veggies and vegans alike, politicians are going to force food producers in France to rethink how they market their meat-free goods.

 

Terms such as ‘vegetarian sausages’, ‘vegetarian mince’ and ‘vegan bacon’ will be outlawed.

 

Trips to your local Carrefour or other French supermarkets will see foods without meat not be able to be labelled as ‘burger’, ‘steak’, ‘sausage’ or ‘fillet’. The ban will apply on dairy alternatives as well, The Independent reports.

 

MP Jean-Baptiste Moreau put the measure forward based on an argument by the European Court of Justice that soya and tofu products could not be marketed as ‘milk’ or ‘butter’.

 

One of the notable results of this move will be a departure from the eternally awkward kitchen question of ‘Well how do you milk a bean?’

 

Mr Moreau, a farmer and member of President Macron’s En Marche! party tweeted:

 

It is important to fight against false claims: Our products must be designated correctly: the terms #cheese or #steak will be reserved for products of animal origin!

 

Those refusing to comply with the ban will face fines of up to €300,000 (£264,000).

 

Reaction to the ban has been mixed from those finding the measure nonsensical to completely pointless.

if we legally just passed a bill to allow us to identify as whatever the fook we want in our passports, i figure its fair that our food and plants should receive the same privilege.

 

what exactly would i be triggered about?  or are u just a vegan trying to start beef?

Did you just assume that vegan taco's gender? 

 

Lol reminds me. I knew a friend of a friend who shot a taco at taco bell one night of drinking. 

 

Bonus points if you guess his race correctly.

Dont really get it tbh, is this to prevent people confusing a veggie burger with an actual burger?

 

Often i have ordered bolognese  only to discover it is actually quorn meat and not actual meat. Slightly disappointed but i still eat it, was labeled quorn but when i seen a big pile of bolognese in the cafe i didnt think i needed a description.
