The new labelling will be used on prepacked meat and some dairy products being sent from Great Britain to Northern Ireland from October.

You can find a full list of the affected products - and the exceptions - on the Gov.uk website. The news was confirmed by Foreign Secretary James Cleverly earlier this year, who said retailers wanted a common labelling system across the UK. He said: 'Philosophically Northern Ireland is part of the UK so it seems to me logical that something we are asking Northern Ireland to do we should ask the UK to do. I'm very comfortable with having a UK-wide regime." There will be a grace period of 30 days when each new phase is introduced in Northern Ireland. This is so goods that are already on the market will not need to be relabelled and can still be sold during this period. The Government has said it will provide financial support to help businesses with the new labelling requirements.
