MEP's try to bring back ban on wonky fruit and veg. In December we highlighted this nonsense by feeding 5000 people in London's Trafalgar Square on curries, smoothies and fresh groceries - all from wonky fruit and veg and other food that otherwise would have been wasted. But it should be noted that the main culprits are not the EU regulations: the private cosmetic standards imposed by the supermarkets are even worse. By law, supermarkets have always been allowed to sell Class-II fruit and veg, but most of them choose not to. Their standards are often stricter than any EU regulations ever were. Some supermarkets prefer to sell premium range uniform cosmetically 'perfect' produce for which they can charge a higher profit margin. www.feeding5k.org and www.liber-ate,org
