Guidance on exporting composite food products to the EU from 1 January 2021
What does this involve?
The UK Government has published guidance on exporting composite food products to the EU from 1 January 2021, after the Brexit transition period comes to an end.
Composite food products include both processed products of animal origin (POAO) and plant products used as a main ingredient - not just added for flavouring or processing.
You can still export these products to the EU after 1 January 2021, but you must follow the new rules.
