Protect UK Food Standards
For the health of all UK citizens the Government should ensure that all food eaten in the UK -either imported or produced locally- complies with strict standards of food and hygiene, animal welfare and environmental standards.COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of food security and traceability.
We call upon
1. The Government and all parliamentary
parties to re-affirm their commitments
to ensuring that UK food standards on
safety and welfare will not be weakened or
undermined by post-Brexit trade deals.
2. Public health, consumer and environment
organisations to combine efforts to prevent
the undermining of high food standards in
the UK.
3. All UK food industries to prevent the
creation of a two-tier food market of high
standards for UK production alongside
weaker international standards allowed for
imports, with these likely to be marketed to
people on low incomes.
