The government has updated its guidance on exporting or moving high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin (HRFNAO) from Great Britain to the EU or Northern Ireland from 1 January 2021.

Some non-animal food and feed products from certain non-EU countries present risks to human health because of aflatoxins, pesticides, salmonella or dioxins. These HRFNAO must meet more requirements to be imported to EU member states or moved into Northern Ireland (NI) than low risk food and feed products.

See the full list of HRFNAO with restrictions.

There is no HRFNAO listed in legislation 2019/1793 originating in the UK.

The rules apply to HRFNAO that you have imported from non-EU countries to GB (England, Scotland and Wales) and then re-export to the EU or move into NI.
