"Before Brexit, exporters could send chilled and fresh food to the EU without any paperwork because the UK was a member of the single market.

"However, the UK’s corresponding post-Brexit import checks have been pushed back on four occasions already: in 2020, twice in 2021 – partly because border infrastructure was not going to be ready on time – and then again last year by the then Brexit opportunities minister, Jacob Rees-Mogg."
