Smoky bacon, roast chicken and flame-grilled steak crisps face being banned from British supermarket shelves under Andy Burnham’s post-Brexit deal with the EU due to new Brussels rules forbidding the use of ‘meaty’ terms for non-meat food. The Telegraph has the story.

The flavour will fall foul of planned European laws forbidding the use of ‘meaty’ terms to describe vegetarian food. The rules are designed to avoid consumers being confused.

Almost all smoky bacon crisps are made with flavourings rather than real meat.

Vegetarian ‘steak’, ‘pork’ Pot Noodles and ‘chicken’-flavoured crisps would also be banned, because the UK has agreed to align with the EU’s rules on food.

Crisp manufacturers, such as Walkers, face being forced to change their recipes, making them no longer suitable for vegetarians, or change the names of their classic flavours to remove references to any meat.

Adding beef extract to a crisp recipe would increase costs, shorten shelf life and make them no longer suitable for vegetarians.

Mark Francois, Chairman of the European Research Group of Brexiteer Tory MPs, said: “Yet again, we see the practical drawbacks of Labour’s cosying up to the EU.

“When 17.4 million UK citizens voted to leave the EU, it wasn’t so they could subsequently tell us what to put in a Walkers crisp packet.

“Why on earth is Andy Burnham so desperate to rejoin an organisation that wants to dictate to us like this, whenever they get the chance?”....<<<Read More>>>....
