I sat down in a high volume bakery in a German pedestrian zone recently only to find that the chicken sandwich I had picked out was really some kind of fake cardboard plant meat. I have nothing against that sort of thing and I’m open to trying new things, but they used some misleading terminology to make it sound like meat. I remember being irritated at the time and I’m glad the politicians have this issue in their sights. Having said that, I’m baffled this is important enough in contrast to the rest of world events to actually warrant attention and action.
Pretty sure it was “Backwerk”. I would also be surprised if it wasn’t in the small print on the sign or something. The point for me was that I should have made that choice consciously, but due to the “meaty” language and my hurried state, I was misled into thinking it was meat. Consumers should know what they are getting based on how it is described and I found the description lacking in specificity. Apparently this is not enough for me to complain until I saw an article on Lemmy about the EU addressing it. :-)
Backwerk has very clearly signed vegan sandwiches. I’m sure it could happen if you’re just absent minded buying something without paying attention. But then don’t get mad if you buy the wrong thing… Like when you buy a schnitzel you don’t know what’s inside unless you fucking read the label.
