Brits are facing higher grocery bills as post-Brexit border checks coming into force today mean the price of food imported from the EU will go up, retailers have warned. Meat, dairy, plants and seeds are just some of the products which will now be subject to physical checks when imported in. Companies have warned that the new checks will likely hit small businesses hardest and lead to price rises for customers. The measures are a part of the UK's Brexit trade agreement, and the government says they will increase the country's bio-security and the added cost will be 'negligible' compared to a major outbreak of disease. The border checks will be carried out according to the risk category of the product, such as 'high-risk' live animals being subject to checks for pests and diseases. For now, the checks won't apply to goods from the Republic of Ireland , which is a major supplier. This won't happen until November, the government said. The measures which are now in place were delayed previously due to concerns in the UK about fuelling the rampant cost-of-living crisis by adding more red tape to food imports.
