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.

You are bollocks.

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