Yes, but also why does the government need to be involved?
I understand wanting clarity in good naming and standards, but I’ll never confuse a tofu burger or reconstituted mycelium protein nuggets with actual meat.
There is no real risk to the consumer in having language like tofu burger and veggie steak
This is exactly what is happening here. Heavily processed plant pulp being named like meat to deceive the customers, otherwise almost nobody with even a shadow of good taste would eat this shit.

Because consumers should not be misled by deceiving manufacturers.
If you see “plant burger” and you are misled to think that it must be made of beef, that says a lot more about you than the manufacturer.
There is no such thing
I ate one last night. I assure you that plant burgers exist.
*heavily processed plant pulp discs
as opposed to heavily processed animal pulp discs
Stupid reason. Burger used to mean pork and beef. There were laws for this. Now we have chicken burgers?? Yeah nobody cares.
Would it be OK to sell some cheap dog meat burgers as “vegan”? I meant taste would be probably the same but still misleading, don’t you think?
Straw man argument. That’s not what’s happening here.

Lol wtf are you talking about dude?
No vegetarian/vegan sees this packaging as tricking them into eating meat.
No meat eater is seeing this packaging as meat. And if they do get tricked into eating this product, holy shit they accidentally ate a plant.
God forbid you have some fiber in your diet.
