That is the discussion that has been ongoing in European politics lately. A month ago, the European Parliament voted to ban the use of meat-related names such as \u2018burger\u2019 or \u2018sausage\u2019 on vegetarian products. Supporters of the ban argue that these names can confuse consumers, while opponents point to the meat lobby as the main influence behind this decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>by Vos Vissers, Sophie Manusov &amp; Quinty Setlight<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nk-awb nk-awb\"><div class=\"nk-awb-wrap\" data-awb-type=\"image\" data-awb-parallax=\"scroll\" data-awb-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-awb-parallax-mobile=\"false\" data-awb-image-background-size=\"cover\" data-awb-image-background-position=\"50% 50%\"><div class=\"nk-awb-inner\" style=\"opacity: 0.71\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-scaled.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-19007 jarallax-img\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/DSCF9876-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nk-awb-wrap-content is-layout-constrained wp-block-nk-awb-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-advanced-spacer\" style=\"height:421px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section alignfull alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background has-background\" style=\"background-color:#7b8571\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\"><div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/uNXC9iDX-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section alignfull alignfull getwid-section-content-custom-width\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper\" style=\"max-width:800px\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background has-background\" style=\"background-color:#a8b79a\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9ac00cf961d1ea846fe5a532228b76c6\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ed8ec8c0b966afcf9bb5c7dbb4801dd3\">French Member of Parliament C\u00e9line Imart introduced an amendment to protect European farmers from competition by vegetarian producers. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/doceo\/document\/AGRI-AM-773314_EN.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/doceo\/document\/AGRI-AM-773314_EN.pdf\">proposal<\/a>, farmers are struggling because of inflation, the coronavirus pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. This ban is meant to support meat farmers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4aeb34cf0d7907a2733584dd5af05565\">The issue has been around for some time. In 2020, the same amendment was rejected in the European Parliament, partly because the Parliament leaned more toward the political left at that time, compared to today. However, that same year a ban on dairy names such as \u2018oat milk\u2019 was approved. That product has been in the supermarket as \u2018oat drink\u2019 for years now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cd70707706e4fe75ec07bf76e206a9f3\">Opponents are concerned that the ban will slow down the transition to a more sustainable food system. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milieucentraal.nl\/eten-en-drinken\/milieubewust-eten\/de-milieu-impact-van-vlees\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.milieucentraal.nl\/eten-en-drinken\/milieubewust-eten\/de-milieu-impact-van-vlees\/\">Milieu Centraal<\/a>, in the Netherlands we buy, for example, 4 to 6 times more kilograms of meat per person each year than what the planet can sustainably support. And that\u2019s not even considering the import and export of meat. With such a ban, the Parliament would therefore not be pursuing the general European interest, but rather that of a small group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6fcbe8c331c76bf2396b48228dd36f6a\">In addition to strengthening the position of farmers, the ban is said to help consumers avoid confusion. People might think they are buying a burger, while it doesn\u2019t contain any meat. According to opponents, that\u2019s a nonsensical argument. They point out that the ban would actually cause more confusion, as people would now have to think for themselves about how to replace meat in their meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section alignfull alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background has-background\" style=\"background-color:#7b8571\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\"><div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/Ni3MmF8p-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section alignfull alignfull getwid-section-content-custom-width\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper\" style=\"max-width:800px\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background has-background\" style=\"background-color:#a8b79a\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p id=\"block-615e61cc-0587-4261-97be-cf532e6ebe82\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7c49a4b7905be7a093fc0b9d00299c3c\" id=\"block-aabc80df-213b-4684-a47a-cf7c742523cb\"><strong>Are people really confused?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bab134136c51b1151c1442fed17316f9\">The Dutch media platform Radar conducted research in 2020 on this possible consumer confusion. At our request, they carried out <a href=\"https:\/\/radar.avrotros.nl\/artikel\/vegaworst-en-veganburger-geven-consument-juist-duidelijkheid-62116\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/radar.avrotros.nl\/artikel\/vegaworst-en-veganburger-geven-consument-juist-duidelijkheid-62116\">this study<\/a> again now, five years later. They sent a survey to their panel members, which was completed over 20,000 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-64b8197bc626e7a8952852e12c866dc7\">The results show that about 96% of the Dutch understand that a vegan sausage contains no meat. The remaining 4% thought that a vegan sausage is a sausage of meat, exactly the same percentage as in Radar\u2019s previous study five years ago. Even within that small percentage, some respondents indicate that they actually do understand what it is, but just do not understand why vegetarians would want to eat a sausage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c66b2cbe45d09a66070b417a064db6d\">A notable difference becomes clear in a follow-up question in the study. Although only 4% do not understand, 31% of respondents are still in favor of the ban. This could indicate that many people value the traditional idea of meat and the protection of farmers. This idea is confirmed by <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.beuc.eu\/veggie-burgers-names-not-confusing\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blog.beuc.eu\/veggie-burgers-names-not-confusing\/\">research<\/a> showing that in Germany there is the most resistance to vegetarian products with meat names, a country with a historically large meat culture and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section getwid-anim fadeInDown\" data-wow-duration=\"2000ms\" data-wow-delay=\"200ms\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-1024x320.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-768x240.png 768w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-500x156.png 500w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-800x250.png 800w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2-400x125.png 400w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2025\/11\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2025-11-14-om-13.19.26-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2787ed01a3c5b8b3a90ffd66b92d584d\">There is also a quite large group of 28% who do understand what a vegetarian sausage is, but still find it confusing. Possibly a result of loyalty to the meat industry, but potentially also due to differences in the way the questions were asked. \u201cWhen you ask people if they find something confusing, you ask them to explain their buying behavior very rationally,\u201d explains marketing strategist Rob Revet. \u201cTherefore, they give all kinds of statements that you often do not see in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5d6d38c6f936af10b6e27ba4b9edb8d\">Revet considers the first question in the study, about what a vegetarian sausage is, much more accurate. \u201cThere, a piece of knowledge is asked for, and people do not have to reflect on themselves.\u201d A Radar researcher explains that you cannot click back to adjust your answer. This way, you get the least politically influenced answer to the main question of whether people are really confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-db3a06befcd9988965ea11441fb9f198\">Let\u2019s look back at: a veggie burger or a soy disk? Our question was also included in the new Radar study, but with a third option added: I wouldn\u2019t buy both. Slightly more than half of respondents chose this last option, while 35% chose the veggie burger and 11% the soy disk. Although the veggie burger wins, the proportions are still different from what we saw on the street. According to Revet, this is logical, because the group of \u2018hardcore vegetarians\u2019 will not change their buying behavior due to this ban. It is the large group who sometimes eat vegetarian food that will adjust their behavior. That is why the soy disk is doing slightly better in the research Radar conducted. The non-conscious vegetarian eaters are filtered out with option 3 being \u2018I wouldn\u2019t buy both\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section getwid-anim fadeInRightBig\" data-wow-duration=\"1500ms\" data-wow-delay=\"200ms\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__divider is-top-divider\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__divider is-bottom-divider\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-wrapper has-dividers-over\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background-holder\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__background has-background\" style=\"background-color:#7b8571\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__foreground\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-section__inner-content\">\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b36c6dcceaaebb04e9934a32848fecf9\"><em><strong>Data verification<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fb6cb0a0a27456bc5afb69117d891694\"><em><strong>Radar sent a survey with a few short questions to their Radar Panel, which 20,638 people completed.

According to marketing strategist Rob Revet, the measure completely misses the point. \u201cPeople who buy a vegetarian burger know perfectly well that they\u2019re not buying meat. The confusion that politicians claim to be protecting us from is nonsense. This won\u2019t push people towards sustainable choices it does the opposite.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7dfad6d2234fa72e747fb7461677bcff\">Revet explains that everyday consumers make their supermarket decisions quickly and instinctively, rather than after thorough research. \u201cSome politicians seem to think people will just look it up. That shows zero understanding of consumer behavior. When people have to stop and think at the shelf, they\u2019ll just grab the familiar option, which is usually meat. This isn\u2019t about helping consumers, it\u2019s about protecting industry interests.\u201d He believes that the meat lobby has played a significant role in pushing the measure through. \u201cIt\u2019s a victory for the meat industry, not for consumers,\u201d he adds. \u201cThis is a competition being fought through politics.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8a437c13db76150a7599a4b0980bea9e\">Smaller plant-based brands will be hit the hardest. \u201cRebranding and repackaging cost money. Big companies can handle that, but small, innovative producers can\u2019t. It\u2019s unfair competition dressed up as consumer protection.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d557284dd5f195f650e9490ee8712cd4\">Paul Florizoone, founder of the Belgian plant-based company Greenway, confirms this. \u201cYes, we&#8217;ll definitely be affected. Packaging will have to change, which costs money. And unfamiliar names make it harder for new customers to understand what they\u2019re buying.\u201d He also has noticed that Brussels is looking for a compromise. There is talk of a diluted version of the ban, whereby specific animal terms such as &#8216;rib&#8217;, &#8216;buttock&#8217; and &#8216;steak&#8217; would be removed, while words such as &#8216;burger&#8217; and &#8216;sausage&#8217; would probably be permitted to remain. \u201cThat would be a much more realistic solution. Although, you could still argue that \u2018rib\u2019 is confusing, but nowadays a burger is simply a product category\u201d, explains Florizoone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c9b300fd5cf6d0c6b66b2dfa2294c99\">Nevertheless, he remains optimistic. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to panic. We\u2019ll handle it creatively. This whole debate is driven by lobbying and political ideology, not by what consumers want. It\u2019s absurd that this is even being discussed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b86fb2d483483ddc99656f7160e0fe77\">Having worked in the plant-based sector for nearly 30 years, Florizoone is convinced the shift is irreversible. &#8220;People are eating less meat and more food made from plants. That&#8217;s not just a hype, it\u2019s a structural change. This industry creates new ideas, jobs and benefits the environment. Policymakers should support that, not restrict it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3058,"featured_media":19226,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"760.5","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[328,58,510,508,506,511,231,514,507,516,513,515,504,502],"class_list":["post-18849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cbj","tag-brussel","tag-brussels","tag-cross-border","tag-d66","tag-eu-parliament","tag-europa","tag-europe","tag-informatie","tag-mep","tag-soy-disk","tag-tekst","tag-vega","tag-vegan","tag-veggie","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>From Veggie Burger To Soy Disk?
