A popular Borough Market greengrocer was banned from selling its renowned chocolate-covered strawberries because they 'did not count as fruit or veg'.

The stall, named Turnips, has been a mainstay at London's famed tourist attraction for more than 30 years with fans travelling from as far as Australia to try its £7.50 pots of large strawberries covered in thick gooey chocolate sauce.

Outrage spread to social media with many people expressing their disappointment. One person wrote: “I am coming all the way from America and was so excited to try this.” In the TikTok video, which has gained over a million views, a staff member tells disappointed customers that the mushroom risotto was also banned as it was not being prepared in an approved hot food area.School put child in isolation for wearing uniform from supermarket and not from the official supplier

“We are allowed to trade fruit, veg and related produce out of anywhere in our shop but they’ve shut down the whole front of our operation and not let us trade today on the basis that our chocolate covered strawberries do not count as fruit, veg and related produce.The wave of support following the ban clearly had an impact, with the same staff member announcing on TikTok that it had been overturned after a few days.
