The UK has a highly resilient food supply chain which is experienced in dealing with situations that can cause disruptions to supply.

The Government has carried out extensive planning working closely with the food industry and the Devolved Administrations to prepare for the end of the transition period and ensure continuity of food supply across the UK.
