"The breakfast favourite will have to be sold as 'citrus marmalade' if the agreement goes ahead, when Britain will readopt new EU food regulations in a bid to boost trade and reduce red tape for British exporters."
"Decades-old European regulations incorporated into UK law before Brexit mean only preserves made from citrus fruits can be sold as 'marmalade' in shops, with other kinds of fruit spread named 'jam' or equivalent terms in other languages."
"Now Brussels has updated its rules after the UK's departure, allowing all EU countries to permit non-citrus spreads to be marketed as 'marmalade.'"
The UK government plans to adopt new EU food regulations, which will require marmalade to be labeled as 'citrus marmalade.' This change aims to boost trade and reduce red tape for British exporters. The new rules relax the definition of marmalade, which has historically been limited to preserves made from citrus fruits. This change stems from decades-old regulations and British lobbying efforts. The updated rules will allow non-citrus spreads to be marketed as marmalade across EU countries.
