GMO'S and BREXIT
Conclusions from our literature review:
- Possibility of a deal with the EU will likely mean accepting current EU regulations governing GMOs in food for the foreseeable future, as changing food standards is politically difficult.
- In the event of a ‘no deal’ Brexit, there may be a food crisis due to reduced import of food from the EU and increased checks on the border.
- Cheese and other dairy products are likely to be one of the hardest hit food groups in this event.
- Changing to a less restrictive system of GMO regulation may be a necessary part of forming trade deals with other countries.
