The Vegetarian Butcher has to think about new product names. According to the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), products such as chicken pieces and speckjes are misleading and in violation of the law.
This is reported by the Volkskrant. The NVWA gives the Vegetarian Butcher until March 2018 to provide the products with other names. If this is not done before that time, there is a risk of a fine. According to Niko Koffeman, co-founder of the Vegetarian Butcher, the meat industry is behind the allegations of the NVWA.
It is not the first time that vegetarian meat substitutes have been discredited. In 2012, the Vegetarian Butcher already had to make some name changes. Chopped was then changed to hacked. Since September, all product names stand for 'vegetarian'.

Tell Tinus, I don't have eternal life, do you? When you were born didn't you almost let your mother die of pain?
You also don't wear leather shoes and don't eat anything that contains gelatin.
If your answer is no, then you are a guy who can speak his mind.
My question would be; what about your clothing, no fleece sweaters or viscose clothing, made from petroleum and polluting our natural cycle? So you never take medication, drive a car or travel by plane?
So I think you should blow off the tower a little less and first really delve into how nature works and how we as humans, including you, deal with our ecosystem! And don't fall into shouting from the school teacher that keeping animals is so pathetic, because then start a union against keeping pets, and to liberate the dogs that have to lie in far too small crates!!!
