The NSW Nationals are calling for urgent action to be taken on the food labelling system, which Mr Saunders said lagged behind the rest of the world.
"Europe has already voted to ban the use of terms such as 'meat' and 'milk' as well as other associated food labels on food items that are not made of animal products," he said.

"The United States is following suit, yet nothing has been done in Australia. It's simply not good enough."
The ban would prevent terms like 'vegan sausages' or 'almond milk' being used.
"It's time for action on this issue, and if no-one else is willing to step up, the NSW Nationals will," Mr Saunders said
Food labelling is routinely considered by the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation. The joint system is underpinned by a treaty to ensure consistent labelling and food standards across both countries.
It's is designed to ensure clarity for industry, producers and consumers across all the governments of Australia and New Zealand.
Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said an options paper on the issue was currently before the food regulation forum recommending no action due to a lack of evidence, or referral to yet another committee.
"I won't allow this issue to simply be kicked further down the road - we must deal with it now," he said.
"I've charged the NSW Food Authority to table an actual options paper for the forum to consider."
