Since the European Union referendum on 23 June 2016, Food Standards Agency officials have met officials from the World Trade Organization’s “Standards and Trade Development Facility” on various panels, and in the margins, of international food safety related meetings and conferences. Specifically, officials met at a United States Food and Drug Administration Public Hearing in Washington, D.C. in February 2017, at the Global Food Safety Conference in Tokyo in March 2018, and at a Codex physical working group meeting on international food standards held in Edinburgh in May 2018.
