A hamburger, or simply a burger, is a dish consisting of fillings—usually a patty of ground meat, typically beef—placed inside a sliced bun or bread roll. The patties are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon or chilis with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish or a "special sauce", often a variation of Thousand Island dressing and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger patty topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger.
A meat alternative or meat substitute, is a food product made from vegetarian or vegan ingredients, eaten as a replacement for meat. Meat alternatives typically approximate qualities of specific types of meat, such as mouthfeel, flavor, appearance, or chemical characteristics. Plant- and fungus-based substitutes are frequently made with soy, but may also be made from wheat gluten as in seitan, pea protein as in the Beyond Burger, or mycoprotein as in Quorn. Alternative protein foods can also be made by precision fermentation, where single cell organisms such as yeast produce specific proteins using a carbon source; as well as cultivated or laboratory grown, based on tissue engineering techniques.
A veggie burger is a hamburger made with a patty that does not contain meat, or the patty of such a hamburger. The patty may be made from ingredients like beans, nuts, grains, seeds, or fungi such as mushrooms or mycoprotein.

To Require Truth in Labeling of Agricultural Products that Are Edible by Humans, also known as Act 501, is a law passed in the US state of Arkansas that restricts the terminology that can be applied to substitutes of animal-based foods. It also prohibits using the label "rice" for any food product that is not "the whole, broken, or ground kernels or by-products obtained from the species Oryza sativa L. or Oryza glaberrima, or wild rice, which is obtained from one of the four species of grasses from the genus Zizania or Proteresia". Arkansas produced nearly half of all the rice grown in the US in 2018. It was signed into law in March 2019. The legislation was proposed by David Hillman. Hillman stated that the use of meat terminology by producers of plant-based products is done to confuse consumers, saying, "the only way they can get people to try their product is to confuse them". The law stated that only products that derived from animals could be referred to as meat or other terminology traditionally associated with animal products, but the vague and expansive scope of the law means that products like peanut butter could be unlawful as well. Other labels that would be illegal include "cauliflower rice", "veggie dog", "veggie burger", and "almond milk", among others. The penalty for breaking the law is US$1,000 per violation.
