Steak and burger are just descriptors - I see no problem with labeling plant based items for what they are trying to mimic. As long as it’s abundantly clear that it is indeed plant based, what is the harm in using references to describe the flavor / texture palette. These products typically don’t taste just like their ingredients directly so I find the comparisons helpful. Lots of things do this. Lots of items do meat flavoring mimicry, but do not contain the meat product. This seems unnecessary and a slippery slope to make into law.
