The French government issued a decree Tuesday banning the term "steak" on the label of vegetarian products, saying it was reserved for meat alone.

If it also says steak on the packaging people can just grab it and go. Definition of mislabelling.

I have never seen just [Steak] on any package. You have proven that you know words by writingen them. I reckon you can read them too.

Would it be fine for you to start selling dog steak just labeld as steak? They take great care and pride to label it correctly https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/ They make sure you know what you get because it is a premium product. If you just buy storebrand animal meat and don't care about who it was I can't help you.

I don't know where you buy your food, but here I can clearly see meat labeled as "steak" in my supermarket.

Ah yes you have proven that I can read therefore it is okay to mislabel products across a whole country and potentially mislead other people. Checkmate.

Or how about we protect customers and try not to mislabel products?

What's with the dog meat? I believe it's illegal everywhere in Europe isn't it? Otherwise, just meat so yeah technically a steak.
