EU delays decision over ban on veggie labels – DW – 12/10/2025

European lawmakers failed to reach a deal on whether ordinary consumers would be confused by the idea of vegetarian sausages or vegan burgers. Meat producers say it's not that simple.

The measure was introduced by French conservative lawmaker Celine Imart, who argued it would prevent confusion with traditional meat products.

      Alright, a slightly better anecdote!

      I can go to almost any restaurant listing on just-eat and they will offer a dish named “Lasagna”. And it will be Lasagna Bolognese every single time. There are some more fancy restaurants that offer different kinds, but they will be described as such.

      At least in central Europe, if you order Lasagna without any more specifications, you’ll get meat and cheese.

        Yes, if you only eat in restaurants your choices will be limited. I have, on the other hand, been allowed to look through cookbooks older than you and I put together, which contained multiple different recipes for lasagna and only 2 of those recipes contain meat. Why do you choose to die on such a wrong and useless hill?

          Just dying on the hill of reality, I guess. If you order Lasagna from any reasonable place, without further prefixes, you’ll get Lasagna Bolognese.

          I’m not disputing other kinds of Lasagna exist. But you have to label them or you’ll get confused customers.

            So, Stouffer’s, my personal favorite awful store bought lasagna comes in two different meat and a cheese only variety. They are labeled as such. You sound lazy, and not super bright. Try actually reading labels further than the biggest word on the box and you will almost certainly see that all of the pertinent information has been provided by the producer. Every brand on at very least American shelves will definitely give you that information. If you aren’t stateside I can’t help you, but one last time I will suggest that you put just a little bit of effort into understanding your purchases before you make them. You are what you should be disappointed in here. I’m done with this conversation. Have the last word if you feel you must. You certainly seem the type. Have the life you deserve. Bye now.
