UK calls halt to "Not for EU" Labelling

On September 30, the United Kingdom confirmed it will not proceed with the previous Government’s plan to introduce mandatory ‘Not for EU’ labelling in Great Britain (GB). US exporters require individual ‘Not for EU’ product labels for meat and dairy when exporting to Northern Ireland only.

The GB-wide expansion was part of the Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme and was set to come into force on October 1, 2024.

The government has stated that they will “take the powers necessary to apply ‘not for EU’ labelling in the future”,
in Great Britain, if necessary. If there is evidence of supply chain issues e.g. a product is available in Great Britain
but not Northern Ireland, due to labelling burdens, the UK government may apply ‘Not for EU’ labelling in a targeted way. The UK government will provide further information on this as they develop this legislation.
