On the 18th July 2025 the R 6436 – Regulation Relating To Meat Analogues For Sale in South Africa was signed by Minister John Steenhuisen. SAMPA first raised concerns back in November 2020 about the confusion to consumers of Plant Based Meat Anolgues using meat names to “sell” plant based products.
