Yes, contrary to our episode title in March of this year, the EU Court of Justice has now ruled that plant-based products can be called terms like sausage, burger or steak (so long as a list of ingredients is clearly printed somewhere).

With the Vegan Week podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop.

Each week we look through news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights.
