Dies ist eine Online-Petition of the European Parliament.
The petitioner calls for Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers be revoked, considering that it fails to protect consumer interests and constitutes a direct attack on vegans and vegetarians and their way of life. The petitioner notes that on 1 April 2019 the European Union banned the use of the phrases ‘vegan sausages’ and ‘vegan hamburgers’. The justification for that ban was that consumers could be misled when buying these products. The petitioner considers there is no proof of this kind of confusion, and believes that the packaging is sufficiently clear to enable a distinction between products that contain meat and those which do not. The petitioner feels that imposing bans of this type without any form of proof is against the interests of vegans and vegetarians.
