This.

In the EU, you can't sell a concoction of palm oil, whey protein, fillers, flavors and colorings as "cheese" - you need to label it as "breakfast spread" or something like that.

There are different words you are allowed to use for fruit-based drinks depending on how removed they are from actual fruit.

Why not apply similar standards to the ersatz meat?

That's because of some lobbying by the meat industry, not out of a concern for the consumer.
