The French government published a decree in the Official Journal prohibiting various plant-based meat substitutes from using butchery vocabulary. Among them: filet, sirloin, steak, entrecôte, aiguillette, flank steak or even ham and escalope.
A second list sets a maximum content of vegetable proteins in certain meat recipes such as bacon, black pudding or sausages. Also prohibited, therefore, are vegetable “nuggets”, “lardons” or “rillettes”
