All food sold on the UK market, including that which is imported, must comply with UK food labelling rules. The Rural Payment Agency and Trading Standards provide advice and enforcement on specific rules on the labelling of fresh and frozen imported beef. Guidance on these rules can be found at: Comply with the Compulsory Beef Labelling Scheme - GOV.UK.
