On the local news yesterday, it was reported that a pie manufacturer in the north east had received a directive from the EU buffoons, on what size the font on his wrappers should be.

Not just pie manufacturers in the North East but all manufacturers of prepared foodstuffs.

 

Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 specifies minimum font sizes for the list of ingredients on the packaging - no bad thing in my opinion - some lists are printed in such tiny fonts they are virtually impossible to read - comes into effect in December this year.
