That sounds like the EU were preventing a known toxin from being used in food. The USA also has restrictions on coumarin in food.
Danish food producers were taking the cheap route (Cassia cinnamon rather than the not-dangerous Cinnamomum verum), and rather than requiring the bakers to use less spice or the more expensive one, the Danish government abused the loophole in the law for traditional recipes.

+1 to the EU, -1 to Denmark and the bakers.
