Brexit and beyond

On the 29th March 2019 the UK will exit the EU and it will be all change for the food and drink industry. As the Government now have a draft deal on the table it appears that finally some form of negotiated deal will be struck. Campden BRI’s Food Law Advisers will be following the developments closely as they evolve and are ready to advise as details become clearer. This withdrawal raises questions regarding for example the legal implications of the labelling of UK produced food sold on the EU market and the changes that may be necessary to ensure those food products remain compliant. Just some of the other challenges relate to food production rules, food hygiene rules for products of animal origin imported into the EU as well as origin implications. If agreed by parliament transitional arrangements will apply.
