An attempt to reinstate a European Union-wide ban on wonky and discoloured fruit and vegetables has failed.
A group of Euro-MPs tried to bring back "uniform standardisation parameters", forbidding the sale of straight bananas and curly cucumbers among other items.
But the proposal was defeated in the European Parliament, amid arguments that it would increase food wastage.

That is a relief. It was a crazy law in the first place.
