New rules could mean jam like 'coloured mud', MP says

Liberal democrat MP Tessa Munt will today ride to the defence of the great British breakfast, claiming that new regulations could be the end to marmalade as we know it.

The MP for Wells in Somerset is due to lead a half-hour debate in the House of Commons today over the amount of sugar in jam. Ministers are hoping to relax the rules governing minimum sugar levels, allowing it to fall from 60 percent to 50 percent, saying it will help British producers trade abroad.
