Despite industry improvements since the 2013 horsemeat scandal, there has been an increase in cross-border food safety and intelligence issues post-Brexit
The head of the inquiry into the horsemeat scandal in 2013 has warned the UK is isolated from intelligence over food supply chains in Europe, increasing the risk of new scandals.
Professor Chris Elliott chaired the government inquiry into the scandal in which horsemeat was substituted for beef in a range of products. Millions of products were withdrawn from supermarket shelves after tests revealed that they were adulterated with horsemeat.
