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!

You'll be pleased to hear that onion marmalade is in breach of the labelling rules and a clear misuse of the term 'marmalade'. A call to your local trading standards office is in order. 😉

The Jam and Similar Products (England) Regulations 2003

These Regulations, which apply to England, implement Council Directive 2001/113/EC concerning fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption (OJ No. L10, 12.1.2002, p. 67) and also contain national measures. They revoke and replace the Jam and Similar Products Regulations 1981, as amended, in relation to England.

Yet the evidence is abundantly clear that it doesn't work - and those politicians have short shelf-lives.

and one of the most shameful parts of the UK political engagement with the EU.... many used the EU to blame for policies they supported but wanted to tell voters they opposed - political cowardice & hypocrisy are key characteristics of the UK's political class.

It is very likely that the average British sausage is worse. Sausages are not the only food products where the average has been dragged down by industrial production for supermarkets.

Also Marmalade is corrupted Portuguese (maybe via France) for a preserve made from Quince called marmelada.

Boris Johnson, while a journalist, started the tradition of twisting CM/EU statements and outright lying.

Also the rule was applying already as part of the NI agreement. Brexit was illegally instituted, voted against by Scotland & NI and incompatible with GFA.
It was to enable UK to continue money laundering via IoM, Ch Is. and BOT.
