United Kingdom: UK Government Launches Consultation on Ban on Bispehenol A and Related Compounds in Food Contact Materials
On October 2, 2025, the UK government launched a consultation on a proposal to implement a ban on bisphenol A, other bisphenols, and bisphenol derivatives in food contact materials.
In 2025, United Kingdom (UK) online grocery channels are projected to remain the fastest growing segment in the sector for household food purchases. This provides an opportunity for U.S. branded food and drink products, which are available to a higher degree online compared to traditional retail outlets.
The UK’s recent trade announcements with the United States (U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal), the European Union (UK-EU Summit), and India (UK-India Free Trade Agreement) are all expected to affect imports/exports for agricultural products between the UK and partner countries.
