<p>The Department is committed to ensuring that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) maintains
the high standards of food safety and consumer protection that we currently enjoy
in this country. Leaving the European Union does not change the FSA’s top priority
which is to ensure that food in the United Kingdom remains safe and is what it says
it is.</p><p> </p><p>One of FSA’s main priorities is to have a robust and effective
regulatory regime which will mean business can continue as normal. All FSA’s exit
plans are either complete or on schedule to deliver in time for day one of exit. As
part of this, the Department has laid 18 EU Exit Statutory Instruments on behalf of
the FSA to ensure that our high standards of food hygiene and safety will be maintained
in a no deal scenario.</p>
