The UK food industry wants a pause in antitrust law to tackle Brexit food shortages

Big food suppliers in the U.K. say they should be allowed to work with each other to smooth out any food shortages triggered by Brexit.

Food and Drinks Federation boss Tim Rycroft told the BBC Wednesday that leaving the European Union without a plan could cause months of disruption in the British food supply chain. "We're happy to help, but the CMA can fine companies up to 10% of turnover if they are guilty of anti-competitive behaviour. So, we wouldn't be able to do that without some pretty cast iron reassurances," he said.
