MYTH!
EU Regulations on the hygiene of foodstuffs only concern food businesses. The occasional handling, preparation, storage and serving of food by private persons at events such as church, school or village fairs are not covered by the scope of the Regulation. Therefore agricultural shows are free to go on having traditional cake exhibitions and competitions.
