Paul McCartney demande à l’Union européenne de ne pas interdire l’appellation « steak végétal »
Huit parlementaires britanniques, dont Jeremy Corbyn, ont écrit à la Commission européenne avec le soutien de l’ancien membre des Beatles, pour s’inquiéter d’une possible interdiction des termes « steak » ou « saucisse » végétaux, votée début octobre par les eurodéputés.
