Baby food suppliers in the UK say they'll continue to manufacture to EU standards on arsenic residues
The EU has recently amended its regulation to further cut the amount of arsenic allowed in baby foodsA trade body representing UK baby food suppliers has said it will continue to manufacture to EU standards on arsenic residues.The British Specialist Nutrition Association said "any product produced in GB will be compliant with the EU levels".Arsenic is a naturally occurring substance that can cause cancer.
That means that GB-produced baby foods, with higher arsenic residues than the EU permits, would still be eligible for sale in Northern Ireland. This raises a wider issue about how UK manufacturers, particular exporters, will react to regulatory divergence between the UK and the EU.If NI producers want to sell their goods in the EU they will still have to follow EU standards
Last week, the UK government emphasised that GB-produced baby food products were still safe and had not ruled out adjusting its rules so they are similar to the EU.
