The UK is set to implement post-Brexit checks on EU food imports, nearly eight years after the Brexit vote. These new border controls, starting next week, will make the import process more complex and costly, particularly affecting items like bacon. The checks will take place 22 miles from Dover at Sevington, with high-risk goods undergoing physical inspections. This change is expected to add approximately £8.50 per month to the average household food bill, as reported by ITV News. The implementation aims to ensure food safety but could lead to increased prices and more paperwork, impacting the flow of goods.

The UK will finally impose checks on EU fresh food next week. I've tracked the journey bacon takes from Denmark to the UK, to illustrate the new reality of Brexit - that while trade doesn't stop, it's about to become harder and that bit more expensive https://t.co/nYoGuXleIZ
