This question was answered on 7th October 2020
HM Government is proud of its high food safety standards. Having left the EU, and as we leave the transition period, we will take back control of our laws, standards and regulations. Without exception, imports will meet our stringent standards.
The Food Standards Agency will continue to oversee our food standards, for both domestic production and?imports, and provide independent advice to HM Government.
