This document states that the UK government is committed to ensuring that UK and EU researchers, universities and businesses will be able to continue to collaborate after EU exit. If the draft Withdrawal Agreement is finalised and concluded, UK Horizon 2020 participants and projects would be unaffected by EU exit.

This could threaten the availability of many of such products for people that rely on a low sugar diet. Read more here.
