I'm throwing out the terms BURGR, SAUSGE, STEK as prior art so nobody can trademark them and everybody that produces vegetarian or vegan food can use them free of charge.

Some brands are already doing stuff like this. Here in Sweden we have "Ch*cken style", "Chick-un" etc. And some are pretty funny but does break these new shitty rules like "meat-free meatballs".

Honestly I think that this might be a good thing for veggie prosucts

Some vegetable products make for pretty bad versions of their meat based counterpart but would be great products on their own accor

I've seen "plant based chicken nuggets", (0% chicken) which doesnt make sense

Good rule, food market stays the same, but these should be called "veggie nuggets" or whatever

I've seen "chicken-free nuggets", which makes more sense IMO.

But why not include every other thing it doesn't have in it?

Because if something is meant to imitate something else, consumers looking for such a substitute product should have an easy means of finding it. The target demographic of these products is people looking to avoid meat, so manufacturers already have an incentive to label them as being meat-free. Making them use meaningless words will inevitably confuse consumers more than a prefix such as 'plant-based' would, in turn discouraging adoption of such products by curious consumers, exactly the intended effect of the meat lobby that pushed for inclusion of the provision in the first place.

Sounds like standard cheapo nuggets to me

Wonder what the rules for lab grown muscle will be? Is it the suffering that defines the word?
