Comment on No more cordon blur: France prepares to ban vegetarian products from using meaty language

The decree is about the two kind of products. Meat with plants, and 100% plant based food that try to mislead people.
As a consequence, it also concerns plant based food that are clearly branded as vegan food, but it’s not the main target.

So there is

100% plant based food, labeled for example "vegan sausage"

100% plant based food, labeled for example "sausage"

X% meat based food, labeled for example “meat reduced sausage” or "sausage with added vegetables"

X% meat based food, labeled for example "sausage"

100% meat based food, labeled for example “sausage”

Personally, buying 2 or 4 I’d be surprised that these products contain plants. But I fail to see how 1 and 3 would surprise anyone anymore. “Vegan” and “vegetarian” are terms I’d expect any adult to understand as “does not contain meat/anything from an animal”. So, calling anything “vegan sausage” clearly communicates that it is “vegan food in sausage shape” or “vegan food that is intended to replace sausage”.

No one in their right mind would think of olive oil as something to lubricate some olives…
