In the run up to Easter Brexiter fury was aimed at the requirement for Marmalade to be renamed if we (re)align UK food labelling regulations with the EU; this would be for the addition of the word 'citrus' in a blow to UK sovereignty.

What, the hysteria ignored was that most brands already do this: 'Orange Marmalade' or 'Seville Orange Marmalade' & that is fine, as the EU allowed (and continues to allow) the word 'citrus' to be replaced by the actual fruit!

I have a small strategic store of Marmalades, which is to say all Orange, and mostly coarse cut - proper marmalade.

I doubt that anyone will complain at Cooper's Oxford Marmalade acquiring the word Orange, although we all know perfectly well what it is made of.

The others, from a look at the front of the shelf, already seem to have +/-Seville Orange on their label.

And Coopers mention what it is made of on the less obvious part o the label.

@Photo55 @ChrisMayLA6 And to be honest, a marmalade made of Oxford sounds foul.
