## Summary

Andy Burnham is expected to announce a post-Brexit agreement with the EU, including a deal on food safety rules, at a Brussels summit on 20 November. The article says some British food names and products could be affected by EU regulations, though it presents these as possible consequences rather than confirmed bans.

It highlights meat-named vegetarian foods such as smoky bacon crisps, as well as a kettle-heated snack and vegetarian sausages and burgers. The article also reports concerns that UK farmers’ use of fungicides not approved in the EU could limit the sale of some oats there. It says a proposed EU restriction on terms such as “veggie burgers” was dropped after criticism, with sausages and burgers accepted as shape descriptions.
