France's top administrative court suspended a decree banning the use of terms like steak, escalope, ham, filet, and prime rib for plant-based products, responding to a complaint by the meat industry citing confusion for consumers.
The State Council suspended a second decree implementing the same labelling law, awaiting a response from the Court of Justice of the European Union on the legality according to EU law.
In 2020, the European parliament rejected a proposal to ban terms of animal origin for plant products, except for words like yoghurt, cream, or cheese applied to products without animal milk, thus influencing France's labeling regulations.
