No at that point people will just be confused and not understand what the product is supposed to be, a replacement for meat sausages. So that’s even less clear imo.
But that’s the issue - processed plant pulp is not a replacement for sausages and shouldn’t pretend to be. It is like a fake caviar for example - it should not be sold as caviar.
There is nothing wrong with plant based products, there are many great ones - but they shouldn’t pretend to be something they are not.
That’s very much your personal opinion. I find the alternatives suggested far more confusing (and I don’t even buy the vegan versions). And these products are absolutely designed and developed as replacements for meat-based sausages, so that’s a poor argument.
Product labelling should remove confusion from consumers, not protect personal opinions on what exactly constitutes a sausage. The majority seems happy to refer to things like “veggie sausage” and isn’t confused by that terminology, so if that’s the clearest option then we should go for that.
Product labelling should remove confusion from consumers
Yes, which is what the EU parliament is doing. Plant pulp manufacturers are free to call their products whatever they want as long as these are not names commonly associated with existing meat products.
