Brexit: Food industry seeks no-deal competition waiver

The FDF's chief operating officer Tim Rycroft said:"In the event of no-deal disruption, if the government wants the food supply chain to work together to tackle likely shortages - to decide where to prioritise shipments - they will have to provide cast-iron written reassurances that competition law will not be strictly applied to those discussions."

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has not responded to a request for comment. The industry claims that the government, in internal discussions, has played down the impact a no deal Brexit would have on the overall food supply.
