Sale of imported soft drinks in the UK

I call upon the knowledge of the forum.

This evening I ordered a pizza to be delivered along with a bottle of Fanta. The Fanta that was delivered was not UK supplied and was 'exclusively for sale in Vietnam' Do any forum members know the legality of supplying this drink in the UK. Obviously I know it's probably cheaper to buy so I'm being ripped off by the pizza company and by the look of the colour of the drink I'd hate to know what extra chemicles are in the bottle.

Any advise would be appreciated as I might go to Trading Standards with this. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Yes I saw that too.

As far as I can tell non-EU imports are illegal and either Perfect Pizza gives me free pizza for life or I'm of to Trading Standards. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

The staff restaurant in our old office complex used to sell cans of Coke from Israeli multipacks too - I thought it was quite commonplace. Never really struck me that it might be illegal - don't really care if it is. Mind you, if there's free pizza for life on the table here I could be tempted to make some noise Laughing

I believe the reason it can be dodgy, never mind illegal, is that some of the source countries use chemicals that are banned from EU produced drinks due to known dangers. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
