At present, this enables the United Kingdom to respond quickly to serious risks to public health relating to food and animal feed. The Government is considering the best approach for the management of notification of food and feed safety risks once we have left the EU. It will be our priority to maintain the UK’s high standards of food and feed safety, and continue to be able to provide a timely response to food safety incidents.
