      [The Guardian reports](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/food-firms-urge-europe-not-000129447.html): Companies including Linda McCarney Foods, Quorn and THIS have signed a joint letter calling on commissioners to “let common sense prevail” ahead of a debate on the proposed ban, which they say would cause “unnecessary confusion” for customers “without helping anyone”.

      A ban would mean, for example, bean burgers sold in Europe having to be relabelled as “patties” or “discs”, while the Welsh breakfast staple Glamorgan sausages – made of cheese and leeks – would probably become Glamorgan “tubes”.

      Companies that want to sell things complain about not being allowed to use innaccurate titles because telling the truth is hard.

      Gosh, I´m shocked

      Highly processed food companies complain they can’t mislabel stuff. More at 10.

      People getting offended by food they don’t consume is so weird to me.

      A sausage is a sausage. The meat industry doesn’t own words and doesn’t get to decide how they are used

      If you are too dumb to distinguish a meat sausage from a vegetarian one, you shouldn’t be allowed to shop for food without adult supervision.

      The definition of a sausage is a round thing you bake and eat. It isnt associated with a particular ingredient but i guess some people believe differently. Its like you could have a extremely processed meat sausage or a artisan organic meat butcher sausage. They clearly arent the same thing right? But we both call it sausage.

      Come to think of it, this would also affect Erbswurst.

      I’m not a fan of mislabeled products, where the package is just missing a letter, etc. In Germany, I once bought a “Tunfisch Wrap” and was mildly surprised by the consistency. I survived. But burger or sausage, are shapes or methods of preparation, these terms don’t signify ingredients to me.

      The award for the worst thread title of the day goes to:

      You

      Does that mean the German “blutwurst” (blood sausage) must be renamed as well ?

    13. AtraVenator on

      So fuckin ban it. If there’s no meat in it it shouldn’t be called sausage.

      Too bad, the aggro lobby wants more than just a third of our budget.

    15. Lysek8 on

      Yeah because they wanna sell more. Funny that people think that they have any other reasons than money

      I think the ban makes sense because it is implying that they’re similar products and a consumer might think that they have a similar nutritional value

      What I find hilarious is that people HATE when corporations use deceptive measures to sell more than depends on the consumer investigating on their own with the sole exception of deceptive vegetarian products where they are super comfortable putting the burden on the customer

      Also funny that we make up words for literally everything nowadays but nobody seems to be able to come up with names for vegetarian dishes

      We need regulation of ultra-processed and addictive foods.

      Specifically, this half-baked law is disappointing and seems like a waste of time
