Bacon-flavored crisps may disappear from UK shelves due to rapprochement with the EU British smoked bacon-flavored crisps may be banned as part of Britain's rapprochement with the EU after Brexit, signed with the participation of Andy Burnham. Planned European regulations will ban the use of meat product names to refer to vegetarian food. Brussels explains the initiative as the need to protect buyers from confusion. Restrictions may include not only bacon-flavored fries, but also vegetarian products called "steak," "pork," or "chicken," including pot noodles. Most bacon flavored chips are made with flavorings and not real meat. So companies, including pedestrians, will have to change the names of the familiar flavors or adjust the recipe. Adding meat extracts will increase the cost of the products, shorten the shelf life and deprive them of vegetarian status. Britain commits to complying with EU rules as part of the food and drink trade deal, London has agreed to align British regulations with European plant and animal safety regulations, including labeling requirements. The agreements should simplify trade, reduce border checks and reduce bureaucratic costs. However, the UK will have to gradually change its legislation following the EU, without participating in the development of new regulations. The list of names banned in Brussels for plant foods includes 31 terms, including "steak", "fillet", "ribs", "chicken", "beef" and "bacon". The restrictions were developed under the pressure of the agricultural lobby and may still change. The new requirements are expected to come into effect in about three years.
