Vegan sausage rolls could be banned in Northern Ireland due to Brexit deal

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference. Vegan sausage rolls will have to be renamed in Northern Ireland as the European Union is set to vote against plant-based food being sold under meaty terms."

The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and to keep coverage free from paywalls. The outlet highlights work across topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, citing investigations and documentaries that aim to parse facts from messaging. Donations are presented as enabling journalists to speak to both sides and to maintain trust across the political spectrum. Separately, meat-free products in Northern Ireland may be forced to adopt non-meaty names such as 'tubes' or 'discs' if the European Parliament votes to restrict the use of meaty terminology. The change would apply under the Windsor Framework and has prompted unionist complaints about imposed rules.
