Not really - there's a difference between stipulating that one class of banana be "free from deformation or abnormal curvature[1]" (if it weren't said banana would be Class II and still legal) and declaring the EU is banning curved bananas. It's just as dishonest as when someone like Andy Ngo sees "Alcohol Restricted Zone" signs in an area of the UK that had a substantial muslim minority population, then reporting that the UK has areas governed by sharia law. Both are examples of extremely deliberately dishonest retelling of something that originated in something true (that there exist both quality control regulations for fruit, and signs reminding you that street drinking is not permitted) which were blown up into something ridiculous for attention and to stoke mistrust and hatred of something each journalist disliked personally. [1] - Also as an aside I am sure that while "abnormally curved" is a term that seems vague to us, those who actually deal with importing and selling bananas will have a good understanding what would fall under this.
