The Food and Feed Imports (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 amends European legislation relating to import controls on food and feed, from outside of the United Kingdom, to ensure its operability following the UK’s departure from the European Union. Imports legislation sets rules for the verification of food and feed law by competent authorities in the UK such as the Food Standards Agency (FSA). This instrument amends references to European institutions and systems in order that the legislation is operable in the UK following our departure from the EU. It is intended to provide continuity for operators and trade whilst protecting public health.
