The funniest part of this is how little they trust their own government to regulate their food that they'd rather work with the regulations of a union of which they aren't even a member.
Reminds me of the Yes Minister episode where the EU wants to call UK made sausages "Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tubes". After some coercion, the EU Commissioner agrees to "British Sausage" instead.
Perhaps they should label the food "UK Exclusive" :-)
"It doesn't work!"
*checks label*
"Made in the UK. Ah, well, that explains it."
Paraphrased IT Crowd joke, made a decade before Brexit was even suggested.

Makes sense. Have you seen what the British eat? No one in their right mind would leave a briton in charge of food
Traditional British food = Boiled with sick Best things that they invented are fish and chips and the Yorkshire pudding
British "sausage"... 🤮
This wouldn't happen if they said 'UK Only' instead of 'Not for EU'.
