EU to ban plant-based ‘steaks’ but veggie ‘burgers’ sizzle on

The European Union has decided to classify meat strictly as "edible parts of animals," which effectively bans the use of the term for lab-grown or cell-based products like plant-based "steaks." This move highlights a distinction between the regulation of plant-based meats and traditional burgers, which will still be allowed. The decision underscores the EU's cautious approach to new food technologies, reflecting broader debates on food labeling and consumer trust. This could impact the future of innovative meat alternatives while ensuring traditional products remain untouched.
