Labeling Restrictions on Plant-Based Products in Switzerland and the Netherlands
A wider debate on labeling plant-based products is ongoing in Europe.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) warned companies, including plant-based meat substitute producers, about using "minced meat" on labels.
This warning stems from a 1998 law restricting "minced meat" to animal-derived products, affecting manufacturers and retailers, including Albert Heijn and Jumbo.
These retailers offer plant-based mince from market leaders like De Vegetarisch Slager and Vivera, as well as private-label offerings.
No comment from authorities is available at this time.
