The French government issued a decree Tuesday banning the term “steak” on the label of vegetarian products, saying it was reserved for meat alone.

    Makes sense. It’s pretty weird and confusing when they sell them as meat products. Sometimes it feels like it’s purposefully misleading.

      It’s going to have a big green V on it, i’m not sure how your confused by it and they usually in a different section anyway. I don’t think I’ve ever seen meat and non meat products sold in the same aisle.

        I don’t know if that’s a mandated thing where you live but some products don’t seem to have it on the top of the packaging (could have it on backside) and when they have it it is pretty small and in the corner, with the name of the product (the misleading part) and the picture taking up most space. And I’ve seen meat and non-meat products next to each other when it’s ready to eat stuff, sometimes sausages.

        It seems so unnecessary. It’s like they’re embarrassed of the product or something.
