As veganism becomes more popular with every passing week, manufacturers are trying to produce a vegan equivalent of all things that meat-eaters enjoy.

They've done well to come up with vegan cheese, vegan steaks, vegan pizza, vegan chocolate and plenty more.

But it looks like those advancements aren't being appreciated in France as the country has just banned produces from using meat-related words for meat substitutes.Politicians voted in the motion because they found that when a producer uses words like 'steak', 'chicken', 'bacon' and 'sausage' but then chuck the word vegan or vegetarian in it can be 'misleading' to customers.

If they keep using the wording then they can face a €300,000 (£262,000) for breaking the law - not ideal.
