#Latest news with #EUfoodRulesThe Sun9 hours agoBusinessThe SunFury as Sir Keir Starmer's Brexit deal may change flavour of smoky bacon crispsSIR Keir Starmer has been blasted for a 'smoky bacon surrender' after his Brexit deal left Britain taking orders from Brussels on what goes in our crisps. The PM agreed to follow new EU food rules - including a ban on smoke flavourings still allowed in the UK - prompting fears much-loved bacon crisps will never taste the same. 2 Reform UK leader Nigel Farage told The Telegraph: 'Leave our smoky bacon alone. 'You have to ask what next? Changes to the way we smoke our kippers? Who knows? The truth is this is all now totally out of our hands. 'Our industries have to change to adapt to how the EU sets the rules, maybe not what our own people, our own innovators, entrepreneurs and industries would choose to do.' Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Richard Holden added: ' Labour's smoky bacon surrender is just the latest flavour of betrayal served up by their EU deal.' A No10 spokesperson insisted major crisp firms no longer use the banned flavourings and most had already changed recipes to keep selling into the EU. A Government spokesperson also told The Sun: 'Anyone claiming smoky bacon crisps are for the chop is peddling porky pies. 'The Great British crisp industry will still be able to produce mouthwatering flavours - and find it easier to bring home the bacon by exporting to new markets.' 'Sell-out' Starmer has betrayed Brexit – he should follow in Trump's footsteps instead 2
