The EU's ban on the sale or provision of single-serving sachets or containers of ketchup, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, oil and vinegar will apply in Northern Ireland under the Winsor framework but will not apply in the rest of the UK under EU-reset. A consultation regarding UK alignment is being planned.
