UK Accepts Deal to Align Food Standards with EU
The United Kingdom government said it had accepted a deal that aligns its sanitary and phytosanitary regulations with those of the European Union, bringing the two sides closer on food standards. The agreement follows earlier steps in which the UK and EU finalized a deal to remove checks on food and animal-product trade, and negotiations highlighted potential economic gains of up to £5.
1 billion annually. The deal also requires the UK to adopt EU labelling rules that would prohibit the use of meat-related terms for plant-based snacks, a change criticised by some farming groups.
