The Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that prohibits the use of names of animal-origin products in plant-origin foods. The proposal now goes to the Senate for analysis.

The text establishes an exception for products whose names are already common or habitual, established by current traditional use, already incorporated into dietary habits, and that do not mislead the consumer about their nature, origin, or purpose.

The Bill 10556/18, drafted by the former deputy and current senator Tereza Cristina (PP-MS), was approved with the intervention of the rapporteur, deputy Rafael Simoes (União-MG).
