The Government, including the Food Standards Agency, is committed to maintaining the United Kingdom’s high standard of food safety and ensuring we take a risk-based, proportionate approach that prioritises public health and the interests of consumers. We are investigating a range of solutions to ensure that from day one, food is as safe as it is now. Maintaining a robust and effective regulatory regime for ensuring the safety of food remains a high priority as the UK prepares to leave the European Union.
