U.K. food shortages possible as new Brexit customs rules kick in on Jan. 1
New post-Brexit custom rules for goods arriving from the European Union to Britain are taking effect on Saturday, and a leading food industry body has warned that the new border controls could lead to food shortages.
The British Frozen Food Federation said this week the new restrictions on animal and plant products from the EU could result in major delays at ports in the New Year because some in the supply chain — especially logistics companies on the EU side — may not be prepared for the changes. “With only days to go before the new rules, we remain concerned that January could be a fraught month for our members,” he said.
