Export
Businesses exporting food from the UK are responsible for understanding and complying with the requirements of the receiving country. Those controls may be different to those applied within the UK due to different approaches to controlling food safety. Where a decision is made to divert products that do not meet export requirements to the domestic market, the risks must be appropriately considered, taking account of UK food authority advice and products handled so obligations for placing safe food on the market are met and consumers remain protected.
