Marketing standards for 26 types of produce that prevent oddly-sized or misshapen fruit and vegetables being sold in Europe are being scrapped.

It is a move by the European Commission to streamline and simplify EU rules and cut red tape.

Some 20% of produce is rejected by shops across the EU because it fails to meet the current requirements.
