This is because the seeds are from wild flowers and it is an offence to sow seeds which are not EU approved.

Approved seeds grown as fodder crops, such as red clover, are highly uniform and would compete adversely with natural diverse wild species. Approved seeds are unattractive to wild insects such as butterflies.
