EU Bans Smoky Bacon Crisps: Find Out Why and How You Can Still Get Your Hands on Them!
The EU has made a rather bold decision to ban smoky bacon crisps due to claims that the chemicals used to create their taste could be toxic. Eight smoke flavourings, including those used for the snack, will be phased out in Northern Ireland’s crisp factories due to post-Brexit trading agreements.
