As part of an effort to label foods more accurately and consistently, the European Parliament Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety has suggested a new regulation to clearly define the terms “vegetarian” and “vegan.”

Vice-Chairman Carl Schlyter introduced the amendment to include the following text: “The term ‘vegetarian’ should not be applied to foods that are, or are made from or with the aid of products derived from animals that have died, have been slaughtered, or animals that die as a result of being eaten. The term ‘vegan’ should not be applied to foods that are, or are made from or with the aid of, animals or animal products (including products from living animals).”  Such a measure will also offer the terms legal protection for better assurance of quality.

Our sincere appreciation, Vice Chairman Schlyter and the European Parliament Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety for this considerate step to rightfully inform consumers.

May it help many people in choosing the humane simplicity of plant-based fare that is also better for the health of the planet and ourselves.
