What makes a nugget a nugget, and do veggie patties still make a burger? Are consumers really confused about the names given to plant-based meat alternatives? Just as the South African market is starting to embrace the idea of eating less meat โ€“ whether to spare the environment, their bodies, or pockets โ€“ meat analogues that take the shape and flavour of meat but are made from plant-based proteins have attracted the attention of the Department of Agriculture. Its plan? To outlaw the labelling of items as sausages or patties if they donโ€™t contain any meat. Carte Blanche investigates the devastating downstream consequences of this move on the meat analogue industry. Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
