The EU agreed to ban 31 meat-specific terms on plant-based products to protect livestock farmers, pending final approval.
EU negotiators have agreed to ban 31 meat-specific terms like "steak," "bacon," and "ribs" from plant-based products, protecting livestock farmers from perceived unfair competition, while allowing terms like "veggie burger" and "meat-free sausage."
The compromise, part of broader food market reforms, avoids restricting general terms such as "burger" or "sausage" but bars specific meat cuts on non-animal products.
The decision still requires final approval by the European Parliament and national governments.
