Talking of fruit regulations, I remember a fair few years back down at the local market a fruit stall was selling some variety of orange.
EU inspector checked their size and found they were too large so would be illegal for him to sell them.
Fine thought the stall owner, I'll give them to all the OAP's at my mum's old people's home.
No, not allowed to do that, because they were larger than the EU standard they had to be destroyed as they were "unfit for human consumption"
I can't remember which bit of legislation relates to this, but its the one which was created to give Italian orange growers an advantage.
