EU Redefines Marmalade, Impacting British Producers Post-Brexit
The European Union has relaxed the legal definition of marmalade, allowing European producers to use the term for jams of any flavor starting in June. This change means traditional British-style marmalade must be labeled as 'citrus' or 'orange' marmalade. The decision follows Britain's exit from the EU, which has led to changes in trade regulations. The new definition is set to take effect in Northern Ireland under the 2023 Windsor framework deal and may extend to England, Wales, and Scotland if a broader food deal is agreed upon by mid-2027. The Dalemain World Marmalade Awards have expressed concern over potential costs for artisan producers needing to change label designs.
