United Kingdom: UK government halts GB-wide expansion of 'Not for EU' labelling
On September 30, the United Kingdom confirmed it will not proceed with the previous Government’s plan to introduce mandatory ‘Not for EU’ labelling in Great Britain (GB).
The UK food and drink industry has faced multiple challenges in recent years, including COVID-19, cost-of-living, and adverse weather conditions. Wet weather in the UK has resulted in a significant decrease in harvests, particularly for crops like wheat, barley, and oilseed rape.
Between February and May 2024, FAS London conducted an extensive survey of UK national food retailers, discount grocery retailers, department store food halls, and independent specialty stores to assess the availability of U.S. food and drink products.
