EU to ban labelling plant-based products as 'steaks' or 'bacon', but veggie 'burgers' sizzle on

The EU has decided to prohibit labeling plant-based foods as "steaks" or "bacon" to prevent misleading consumers and protect traditional livestock farming interests. This move comes amid ongoing debates about the ethical and environmental impacts of meat consumption. Despite this restriction, plant-based "burgers" and similar products continue to gain popularity as consumers increasingly seek sustainable alternatives. This regulatory shift highlights a broader trend towards more responsible food labeling and a growing acceptance of plant-based diets.
