CA Field Roast to stop selling sausages in Canada

[PTree15]

Apparently Canada requires anything labeled as a meat analog to be tested on animals and meet some sort of meat nutrition profile that would require the company to add vitamins and possibly chemicals to its meatless sausages. Field Roast says it will refuse on ethical grounds. You might want to stock up now.

Wow. I feel bad for Canadians but glad it doesn't affect me. I like Field Roast products.

Same here. That sage/apple one is really good. I like that it actually doesn't taste like what I remember of sausage. It's just a nice, flavor-filled plant-based food source. This matching of the nutritional profile also seems odd to me, given that real sausage isn't all that nutritious. I suppose it has to do with using the words "meat substitute" or "grain sausage" or something.

What, seriously? Meat analogs tested on animals? Are they freaking crazy?

I suppose humans could volunteer to be the animals....

I live in the U.S., but can Canadians at least import their Field Roast favorites on their own?

I'm generally rather fond of meat substitutes, but the last time I checked out their Celebration Roast, it was kind of pricey, and since I hadn't had it before and didn't know what it tastes like, didn't get it.

I'm gonna have to find a different country to buy Field Roast sausages in.
