The European Parliament voted 355-247 to ban the use of terms like 'burger' and 'steak' for plant-based products, a move seen as a win for livestock farmers. The proposal requires further approval from the European Commission and member states to become law. Critics, including environmentalists and some lawmakers, argue it could hinder sustainability efforts and mislead consumers. Major German supermarkets and food industry voices oppose the ban, while German Chancellor Friedrich Merz supports it.
