I belive they used to be sold in one of upmarket shops in the UK. I don’t see them anymore on their website so they probably gone. But see another example - no mention these are vegan. In my opinion this is clearly misleading.
Sure.
Though, whether or not people care if there is any meat in “sausage” is an open question.
“Sausage” kind of just means “tube shaped savoury food”. I was expecting some specific meat to be mentioned.
Chicken, pork, beef, lamb. That would have been misleading.

This is disgenuous. Sausage is made from meat. If it is made from plant pulp it should at least be clearly stated on the label or it should use different name to sausage.
I don’t understand why manufacturers of vegan food are hell bent on mimicking meat products. It is like Indians would try to do curry in a shape of a steak for the European market. It is a complete nonsense.
If people cared what sausage contained… it would say. But sausage is not required to mention its ingredients to front… because no one cares if its chicken, pork, beef or tofu.
That is utter bollocks. Most sausages are made of pork and these usually but indeed not always specify the meat as it is a default. Chicken, turkey sausages do. When sausages made from plant pulp are not explicit that they are made from this is a deliberate attempt to mislead customers into buying them. And the EU parliament rightly decided to stop these dishonest practices.
I say if you don’t even care what meat is in your sausage, meat replacement is fine too.
Whenever better-not-ask-mistery-meat is an acceptable option, meat replacement is acceptable as well.
If you’d buy that without checking the ingredients, you get what you get. Might be pig, chicken, goat, horse, beef, nutria, or lentils. If you don’t care, you don’t care.
When the meat is not specified on the label, it is pork as this is what sausages are usually made from - in the UK anyway. Otherwise it says what meat it is.

That certainly doesnt mention its meat free.

You are bollocks.
Show me where it says sausage must specify if it is not made of pork… which country has that requirement?
