Though, whether or not people care if there is any meat in "sausage" is an open question.

This is disgenuous. Sausage is made from meat. If it is made from plant pulp it should at least be clearly stated on the label or it should use different name to sausage.

I don't understand why manufacturers of vegan food are hell bent on mimicking meat products. It is like Indians would try to do curry in a shape of a steak for the European market. It is a complete nonsense.

If people cared what sausage contained... it would say. But sausage is not required to mention its ingredients to front... because no one cares if its chicken, pork, beef or tofu.

That is utter bollocks. Most sausages are made of pork and these usually but indeed not always specify the meat as it is a default. Chicken, turkey sausages do. When sausages made from plant pulp are not explicit that they are made from this is a deliberate attempt to mislead customers into buying them. And the EU parliament rightly decided to stop these dishonest practices.

You are bollocks.

Show me where it says sausage must specify if it is not made of pork... which country has that requirement?
