In the run up to Easter Brexiter fury was aimed at the requirement for Marmalade to be renamed if we (re)align UK food labelling regulations with the EU; this would be for the addition of the word 'citrus' in a blow to UK sovereignty.
What, the hysteria ignored was that most brands already do this: 'Orange Marmalade' or 'Seville Orange Marmalade' & that is fine, as the EU allowed (and continues to allow) the word 'citrus' to be replaced by the actual fruit!
