    It’s not a made up problem, bit you are right it might slip I to the culture was bullshit department soon.

    You not thinking that this is confusing is irrelevant, there are more people put there including oldies that don’t bring their fucking glasses at the supermarket with them.

    Point is that countries like France take seriously food mislabelling (in my opinion rightly so), this is nothing different that fake mozzarella, parmigiana or champagne. There are ways to prevent confusing customers, this law is one of them.

    Have your marketing department go crazy with a catchy new name for your amazing plant based creation.

      And you think Granny is going to have an easier time understanding “NEW! CHIA SEED STÖRNK” than a steak in a green package?
