Vegan and vegetarian food cannot be labeled with meat or dairy specific terms like “burger” or “milk” in France

No longer can vegan and vegetarian food be labeled with meat or dairy specific terms like “burger” or “milk” in France.An amendment passed by the French Parliament now makes it illegal for food processors to label vegan and vegetarian food with terminology commonly used for meat and dairy products. This includes products originating from animals such as steak, cheese, sausage or any other terms used for traditional meat and dairy foods.According to the British Broadcasting Company, a violation of the new law could result in fines up to 300,000 Euros (US$363,156).
