Guidance on exporting composite food products to the EU from 1 January 2021

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.

Topics covered include:

• What counts as a composite food product
• What does not count as a composite food product
• Steps for exporting composite food products to the EU from 1 January 2021
• Composite foods exempt from inspection at an EU border control post (BCP)
• How to export these exempt products from 1 January 2021
• EU standards for composite products

Anyone can use this service.

This is a free service.

Businesses who export composite food products to the EU or who intend to do so from 1 January 2021.
