The introduction of new controls for the Border Target Operating Model is not expected to impact products of animal origin and fresh produce availability. We are working closely with importers and border officials, and we are continuously monitoring the range of potential risks that could impact on the supply chain, and this would inform any future thinking around contingencies to be deployed if required.
