Brussels currently bans 8 types of food flavourings (Image: Getty)
Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of a “salt and vinegar surrender” after it was revealed that his EU pact would have serious implications for the British crisp industry.

As a result, flavourings used for things such as smoky bacon crisps, currently allowed in Britain, will see authorisation removed. The pact, which sees the UK align with Brussels on food safety and animal health will once more see Britain conform to rules created on the continent. Reform UK leader Nigel Fargage told the government: “Leave our smoky bacon alone.”

“The Labour Government is choosing to put lowering food costs and lowering business costs first, boosting the economy and getting more money in people’s pockets. The Tories and Reform are cooked if they want to reverse that”.
