The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have launched a consultation on local authority and district council guidance on Grey Market goods in the UK.
The consultation seeks views, comments, and feedback in relation to guidance produced by the FSA to support enforcement authorities identifying and taking action on food not intended for the UK market. These foods, also known as ‘Grey Market goods’, can contain unauthorised or excessive additives and/or ingredients which do not meet requirements set out in UK food safety legislation. They may also fail to identify allergens in the prescribed format.
It is primarily aimed at Trading Standards officers, Environmental Health officers and Port Health authorities.
All responses to the consultation must be submitted by 24 October 2025.
