Well you’re not allowed to call it a “bean burger” anymore cause that would be coNfUSInG according to the animal mass murder lobby.

Can you find a primary source for this? Because all I see is articles that may well be clickbait. I want to see what they actually voted on.

I think certain terms are definitively meat, eg steak, but saying a burger is exclusively meat is like saying a pizza must have plain tomato sauce.

In any case, this hasn't been finalised yet as the European Commission - the actual competent lawyers rather than populist representatives (who might not actually represent their voters) - have yet to have their say. I'd hope that common sense would withdraw "burger" from any law that comes out of this.

Edit: With (far too much) digging I managed to find what they voted on, and it does indeed include burger: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2025-0214_EN.html Ammendment 113, if you just search the page for "burger" you'll find the list of terms.

These names include, for example:

  —  Steak
  —  Escalope
  —  Sausage
  —  Burger
  —  Hamburger
  —  Egg yolk
  —  Egg white.
