19 Jun 2020 --- France has adopted a new act with aims of elevating the transparency of information among agricultural and food products. For stakeholders of the plant-based food sector, led by the umbrella organization European Vegetarian Union (EVU), parts of this law have been decried as doing “the exact opposite” – causing “complications and opacity” for food products. The law mandates that names used to indicate foodstuffs of animal origin shall not be used to describe, market or promote foodstuffs containing vegetable proteins.
