    The below is an example of vegan sausages sold in the UK - tell me it is not misleading with “meat free” printed in white on bright background:

      I’m sorry, that image is too blurry for me to make out most of the text, regardless of the colours.

      I tried finding the same packaging in higher resolution, but it doesn’t match what any of the product pages for frys I have been able to find.

        I belive they used to be sold in one of upmarket shops in the UK. I don’t see them anymore on their website so they probably gone. But see another example - no mention these are vegan. In my opinion this is clearly misleading.

          Omnivore here.

          I say if you don’t even care what meat is in your sausage, meat replacement is fine too.

          Whenever better-not-ask-mistery-meat is an acceptable option, meat replacement is acceptable as well.

          If you’d buy that without checking the ingredients, you get what you get. Might be pig, chicken, goat, horse, beef, nutria, or lentils. If you don’t care, you don’t care.

          That certainly doesnt mention its meat free.

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

          “Sausage” kind of just means “tube shaped savoury food”. I was expecting some specific meat to be mentioned. Chicken, pork, beef, lamb. That would have been misleading.
