The UK hasn't banned them, though some supermarkets did voluntarily remove them. Brexit's a relatively likely culprit for imported stuff; the extra paperwork really disincentivises JIT delivery (and in particular _really_ disincentivises mixed contents containers).

Though it'll get worse. The regime for imported fruit and veg is still in transition, with a lot of stuff that the UK was supposed to bring in in 2021 recently delayed til 2025.
