Thomas Waitz cheers EU move to ban meat-related food names, backing farmers’ rights. Austrian green MEP, eco-farmer since 1973.
EU lawmakers have approved a proposal to restrict the use of meat-related terms like 'burger' and 'steak' for plant-based foods, aiming to protect livestock farmers. The legislation still requires approval from EU member states and will impact food labeling, especially in Northern Ireland, amid ongoing debates over consumer clarity and farming interests.
