The Express published a photo gallery of “The EU’s craziest decisions.” But, some of those so-called decisions weren’t actually decisions. One of the crazy, but not real, claims in the gallery included “the EU had banned unusually shaped bananas,” a woman named Hellen Giblin-Jowett complained to IPSO.
The European Union’s website explains there is a regulation about fruit shape but it allows both straight and bendy bananas. “The regulation states that bananas must be ‘free from malformation or abnormal curvature,'” the website says, but bananas can have “slight defects of shape” or complete “defects of shape” depending on their class.
