Ill-conceived 'Not for EU' labels to be scrapped
While we haven't yet seen an official communiqué from the Government, it seems very likely that the Starmer government will scrap plans to introduce 'Not for EU' labelling for meat and dairy products.
The Guardian is reporting that the plans have been indefinitely postponed, although the only quote from a government spokes person to date says that "Ministers are carefully considering the evidence provided in the recent ‘not for EU’ labelling consultation." We'll keep you posted as soon as we hear anything through the official channels. In the mean time, the Guardian's Jack Simpson has the latest.
