In a recent analysis by Funativ, it has been discovered that there are thousands of companies that will be subjected to the new EU regulations. What’s more surprising is that over a third of them are American, 13% are Canadian, and 11% are British.
“It’s quite shocking really,” says Funativ analyst, Chuck McBuckets. “We never thought so many non-EU companies would be affected by these new rules.”
Some of the American companies that will be impacted include McChickens, which will now be required to use real chicken in their burgers, and Huggies, who will have to start implementing metric measurements on their diaper sizes.
Canadian companies on the list include Tim Hortons, who will be forced to start using Celsius instead of Fahrenheit when advertising their hot beverages, and Canadian Goose, who will now have to pay a tax for every goose they use in their clothing products.
And as for the British companies, Fish n’ Chips will be required to switch to healthier oils when frying their food, and Tesco will have to start using the metric system for their store layouts.
“We know these changes may be difficult for some companies, but it’s all for the greater good,” says McBuckets. “Plus, it’s entertaining for the rest of us to watch them scramble to make these adjustments.”
As for companies outside of North America and the UK, Funativ says they will be conducting further analysis to determine their impact. Stay tuned for more updates.
