New names for meatless food

120

The EU parliament makes new rules. It is about names for meatless food. A veggie burger keeps its name. A tofu cutlet also keeps its name. Many members vote for these new rules.

But some names are soon forbidden. Words for meat pieces are only for real animals. Examples are steak or cutlet. A tofu steak has a new name soon. Words like vegan chicken are also forbidden.

Meat comes only from animals. The new rules protect farmers. Customers shall know what they buy. The EU states must say yes. The new laws count after that.

Some people criticize the rules. Some politicians call it symbol politics. They say: Customers know what they buy. Companies have much work. They must change many packages.
