    so yes you can sell them but not to the public.

    and the rest are weasel words as well.
    Yes you can. If the bananas have defects they are class 2 bananas, so that supermarkets know they're buying bananas that are not as high quality.

    Sensible reason to devastate the UK economy. Banana laws are much more scary than the The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1992, introduced 2 years earlier.

    You do seem to have cherry picked a little here.

    Myth: Curved bananas have been banned by Brussels bureaucrats, with shops ordered not to sell fruit which is too small or abnormally bent.
    Sources: The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, Daily Express (21 September 1994)

    Truth: Yes … and no. Curved bananas have not been banned. In fact, as with the supposed banning of curved cucumbers, the Commission regulation classifies bananas according to quality and size for the sake of easing the trade of bananas internationally.
    so yes you can sell them but not to the public.

    and the rest are weasel words as well.
