Marmalades may need to be relabelled under post-Brexit food deal

 Marmalades may need to be relabelled under post-Brexit food deal. 13 hours ago. Paul SeddonPolitical reporter. Getty Images. Marmalade has long been a quintessential British preserve, with some recipes handed down between multiple generations.. But jars of the fruity spread could look a little different on shop shelves under the UK government’s planned EU food deal, it has emerged.. The breakfast favourite will have to be sold as “citrus marmalade” if the agreement goes ahead, when Britain will readopt new EU food regulations in a bid to boost trade and reduce red tape for British exporters.. The name change is required because Brussels is relaxing its labelling rules, widening the legal definition of marmalade across Europe for the first time.. A UK government spokesperson said on Friday that British marmalade was “not changing” and would remain the same product available in shops, adding the EU deal would support businesses by removing costly red tape.. UK-EU deal on Irish Sea border could ‘lower food prices’. UK-EU deal moves us on from Brexit rows, Starmer says. Decades-old European regulations incorporated into UK law before Brexit mean only preserves made from citrus fruits can be sold as “marmalade” in shops, with other kinds of fruit spread named “jam” or equivalent terms in other languages.. It is a product of British lobbying in the 1970s for a special commercial status for marmalade cut from bitter Seville oranges, a concoction that has become strongly associated with Britain around the world thanks to Paddington Bear.. But the naming rule laid a linguistic minefield that has been a source of friction with food regulators around Europe ever since.. In 2004, the EU agreed to relax the rule for producers selling fruity wares at farmers’ markets in Austria and Germany.. It has continued to flummox consumers in countries such as Spain and Italy, where “mermelada” and “marmellata” respectively are commonly used for spreads made from other kinds of fruit, such as plums and figs.. A German MEP who had been pushing for a change after Brexit told the BBC in 2017 that the naming rules were “contrary to German linguistic tradition”.. Now Brussels has updated its rules after the UK’s departure, allowing all EU countries to permit non-citrus spreads to be marketed as “marmalade” from June.. However, in line with international norms, citrus-based conserves will need to be distinguished as a separate type of product, and will have to be sold using the new legal name “citrus marmalade”.. The new name was already set to take effect in Northern Ireland this summer, under the 2023 Windsor framework deal that sees it align with EU food laws automatically.. But the UK government has now revealed the updated marmalade decree is among 76 updated EU food-related laws that will apply in England, Wales and Scotland too if its wider food deal is agreed.. A timescale for the rule change in Britain is also yet to be confirmed, and it is unclear whether the updated

Daughters’ relentless search shatters ‘overdose’ claim, leads to arrest in mom’s 1992 murder

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! Over three decades after a Washington mother was discovered dead in her home, authorities have arrested a suspect in the long-dormant case. In November 1992, Janice Randle was found deceased on her bed in her Graham, Washington residence, with her infant daughter in a nearby crib. At that time, her husband, James Randle, informed authorities that she might have died from a drug overdose, pointing to her previous use of painkillers. The couple was separated and in the midst of a divorce. The case was originally handled as a death investigation and potential overdose. Autopsy findings later showed no drugs in Randle’s system, leading investigators to reclassify the case as a homicide. Even with this change, evidence remained scarce, and detectives could not build probable cause for an arrest. The case went unsolved for decades. “Realtor’s Cold Case Murder Solved After 133 Years, Police Say.” The investigation was reopened in recent years when family members provided new information, including reports of purported confessions by James Randle. Those leads offered investigators a new angle—and a fresh way ahead. Officials state the revitalized probe ultimately provided probable cause to arrest the now 68-year-old suspect, who resided in a care facility in Everett, Washington.

Amy Bradley cruise ship mystery reignited by ‘big’ revelations in disappearance: report

​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. Authorities have reportedly uncovered a series of new leads stemming from the disappearance of an American college graduate who vanished while on a tropical vacation with her family 28 years ago.. The circumstances surrounding Amy Bradley’s 1998 disappearance – and the subsequent investigation – have since been revisited in a three-part Netflix documentary series, titled “Amy Bradley is Missing.”. Nearly one year after the documentary’s release, director Ari Mark has reportedly revealed a few new breaks in the investigation into Bradley’s whereabouts.. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Mark revealed “two people of interest who have trafficking ties” have been questioned by the FBI relating to Bradley’s disappearance.. FORMER FBI AGENT ROBERT LEVINSON’S DISAPPEARANCE STILL UNSOLVED AS BUREAU PRESSES FOR NEW TIPS. While Mark did not say when the interviews took place, he added that it is a “pretty new” development and he believes it is “a big deal” in the case.. While working alongside the FBI and the Bradley family’s private investigator, Mark said they “may have identified that the trafficking ring… exists, and who potentially would be responsible,” and that the ring is a “dominant” group in the Caribbean, according to the Hollywood Reporter.. Bradley was just 23 years old when her family embarked on a seven-day Royal Caribbean international cruise in 1998.. The trip was meant to be a celebration of Bradley’s graduation from college and her upcoming pursuit of a master’s degree in sports psychology.. However, as the ship was heading to Curaçao on March 24, 1998, Bradley’s family realized she had vanished from their cabin – ultimately launching a years-long search that has yet to come to a conclusion.. AMY BRADLEY CASE HINGES ON ‘SOMEBODY REMEMBERING’ AS INVESTIGATORS HUNT FOR NEW LEADS 27 YEARS LATER: EXPERT. “The trafficking scenario here has been a persistent one,” Peter Valentin, chair of the Forensic Science Department at the University of New Haven and a former Connecticut State Police detective, told Fox News Digital.. “And that can be valuable investigatively. So that might give you some indication of if Bradley left the cruise ship, where did she go after she left? And where could she be geographically? If you have limited investigative resources, where should they be deployed?”. Additionally, Mark told the Hollywood Reporter the investigation has led them to another source claiming Bradley gave birth to a child after her disappearance.. The possible revelation comes after a single source floated the lead to Mark in October 2025, according to the Hollywood Reporter.. PARENTS BELIEVE DAUGHTER WHO VANISHED FROM CRUISE SHIP 27 YEARS AGO IS STILL ALIVE. If the sources are correct, it could mark a pivotal breakthrough in the race to locate Bradley, according to Valentin.. “It shifts the case,” Valentin said. “First of all, it tells you – depending on where the DNA is
