Try looking into the same one I quoted above, it might be a kind of catch-all fruity directive.

Now what was the one which declared carrots as fruit?


Here we go:

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2001/113/EC of 20 December 2001relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purÃÃâ€*’©e intended for human consumption

for the purposes of this Directive, tomatoes, the edible parts of rhubarb stalks, carrots, sweet potatoes,
cucumbers, pumpkins, melons and water-melons are considered to be fruit,
