yes i know, thing is im not sure if its illegal or just doesn't meet the requirements.

if its illegal ill have to stop selling it
if it doesn't meet the reqauirements then thats a different story.

But they did send the shipment back from america when i tried to get a large load into the UK, but small cases have been fine.

"thing is im not sure if its illegal or just doesn't meet the requirements"

Well, if the Packaging does not meet the requirements & it contains to much benzoic acid it sounds like it would illegal to sell. Even with out preservative amounts, and just considering the packaging, it seems that would also make it illegal to market and sell in its current form. I imagine you can face some hefty fines in the future.

Perhaps you can look into ways around these problems?

UK friendly packaging perhaps? (Though still doesn't solve the preservative issue)

In your situation I'd get in contact with some law advice and your food administration.
