EU Parliament Approves 'Veggie Bacon' Ban While Preserving 'Burger' and 'Sausage' Terms; Low Toxin Risk Found in Baby Milk

EU Parliament's agriculture committee has approved a compromise that bans plant-based products from using terms like 'bacon' while allowing 'burger' and 'sausage' for vegetarian alternatives. The deal resolves a long-standing dispute between traditional meat producers and food innovation companies over food labeling. Lab-grown 'steaks' remain prohibited under the new rules. Meanwhile, EU health authorities have stated there is a low risk of toxin exposure in baby milk formula, after seven European countries reported gastrointestinal issues in infants who had consumed certain formula products.
