Truth about marmalade being renamed after Reform and Tories spread EU rule claims
EXCLUSIVE: Truth about marmalade being renamed after Reform and Tories spread EU rule claimsThe new rule was introduced because some EU countries use 'marmalade' and 'jam' interchangeably - and is intended to protect the distinctiveness of Paddington's favourite spreadView 2 Images Paddington Bear can still call it orange marmaladeMarmalade will not have to be renamed due to EU rules, despite claims from senior Tory and Reform politicians. Dame Priti Patel, the shadow foreign secretary, had said: “Labour is now attacking the great British marmalade!" Almost all marmalade sold here is already labelled "orange marmalade", including Robertson's Golden Shred, by far the biggest brand on supermarket shelves, as well as fancier brands like Mrs Bridges and Wilkin and Sons. Despite false claims that the name orange marmalade is toast, it will be preserved, so there’s no need to spread alarm". Under the new arrangement, the iconic product can still be called orange marmalade, as you can replace the word citrus with the name of the fruit.

Disastrous first half ends Munster's Challenge Cup bid at first fence
Exeter Chiefs 31 Munster 21Elimination from the Champions Cup in the pool stages felt like a low. And worse was to come just on the break when Munster were turned over inside their own half and Feyi-Waboso pounced. The wind at their backs dictated that and, sure enough, they had a number of incursions into the Exeter 22 in the ten minutes that followed. Niall Scannell was done for a crooked lineout, another 22 entry was turned over and Ben O’Connor was tackled into touch. Munster: B O’Connor; D Kilgallen, T Farrell, T Abrahams; J Crowley, C Casey; J Loughman, L Barron, J Ryan; E Edogbo, T Beirne; J O’Donoghue, A Kendellen, G Coombes.
