"As part of a planned food deal with the EU, the UK is considering aligning with the bloc's naming rules that allow all conserves to be marketed as marmalades as long as the type of fruit is specified."
"The Conservative former home secretary Priti Patel accused Labour of attacking the great British marmalade, saying that the prime minister was so desperate to fit in with his EU pals and unpick Brexit."
"In the 1970s, following UK lobbying, the EU agreed to allow only the conserve made from oranges to be named marmalade, causing confusion in countries where the term refers to a variety of conserves."
The UK is considering aligning with EU naming rules for marmalades as part of a food deal. This would allow various fruit conserves to be labeled as marmalade if the fruit type is specified. The change stems from historical lobbying by the UK, which previously restricted the term to orange-based products. Critics argue this is an unnecessary EU regulation, while supporters see it as standard practice for trade agreements. The debate highlights the complexities of post-Brexit food labeling and the cultural significance of marmalade.
