Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the US Administration's potential demands on food standards as part of negotiations on a trade deal.

The Government has made it clear that any future deal with the US must work for UK consumers, farmers and food manufacturers as well as protecting the UK’s high standards of food safety, animal welfare and environmental protection.

It is too soon to say what would be covered in a future UK-US deal.
