Labels required on some items from October on back of updated post-Brexit deal seen in Asda
The new labelling is required under the Northern Ireland retail movement scheme, part of the framework that allows prepackaged retail goods, including meat and fresh price, and certain loose goods such as fruit and vegetables, to be transported from Britain through a “green lane” to the North.
Under the terms of the previous Northern Ireland protocol, agreed by the then prime minister, Boris Johnson, in 2019, the North remained inside the EU’s single market for goods. Retailers, including the chair of Marks & Spencer, previously attacked the Northern Ireland protocol rules for sending food between Britain and Northern Ireland, calling them “highly bureaucratic and pretty pointless”.
