Plant-based products that do not contain meat can continue to be labelled “sausages” or “burgers”, European politicians have said.

In votes on issues relating to agricultural products, the European Parliament said that so-called veggie burgers, soy steaks and vegan sausages can continue to be sold as such in restaurants and shops across the union.
