Northern Ireland Sees Post-Brexit Disruption To Food Supply

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - JANUARY 14: Supermarket shoppers walk past rows of empty shelves in Tescos on January 14, 2021 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Supermarkets here are already seeing disruption to food supplies after the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31st, when Northern Ireland remained part of the E.U. single market while GB left. The change will require food products entering NI from Great Britain to receive additional certification and checks at ports. Despite a three-month "grace period," in which supermarkets needn't comply with all EU certification requirements, shoppers are already seeing disruption as supermarkets grapple with the changes.
