Either the EU doesn’t follow the international standard, or you got two different versions of “you should know there’s a banana”, “you must eat a banana”, and “caution, a banana!”. There’s no “you can’t eat a banana”.
Uhhh, yes there is. Other than some limited special cases, a circle with red border and white (yellow in some countries) background is a prohibitory sign. The pictogram shows what’s being prohibited.
Pray tell, what “international standard” would that be?
Surely you’re not thinking of the “US Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices”, right? You know, on account of that not actually being an international standard…

Yep - this is the case in the UK too.
It literally took a second to confirm that this is the case in dozens of countries around the world.
Wikipedia: Prohibitory Traffic Sign
The signs have been standardised internationally in the Wikipedia.org: Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals in 1968.
yellow: signed
light green: accession/succession
dark green: ratified
blue: SADC-RTSM (similar)
red: SICA (similar to US MUTCD)
Among others, the USA (of course), Australia and China did not adopt to the convention.

There’s an entire UN agreement about traffic signaling.
Round signals with a red border communicate requirements, but without crossing the banana, it’s a requirement to eat it.
Blue signals do not communicate information, not requirements.
Are you even familiar with what’s in that agreement?
Round sign with red border, with or without oblique bar: prohibition or restriction.
Prohibition of exceeding 50km/h
Round sign with blue ground and white symbols: mandatory.
Mandatory right turn.
So then OP is wrong and he should have said peeling a banana is prohibited here l and peeling banana a is mandatory here
Sure, if you want to nit-pick about the meaning of a peeled banana on a road sign, be my guest.
That doesn’t sound right
So what standard do you follow that is different?
They probably mean this one
How is that different to the TO?
