A European Parliament committee has voted in favour of a proposal to ban words like 'burger,' 'hamburger', 'steak' or 'sausage' on veggie options.
EU legislators were debating that question this week - and they've come to the conclusion that meat-free options don't make the cut.
The amendment will make sure meat related terms and names are to be used "exclusively for edible parts of the animals". Mr Andrieu denied claims that the meat lobby played a role in shaping the proposal and says there was widespread support for clarification on the issue.
