Paddy Power are offering odds on what will be rationed after Britain leaves the European Union.

The bookmakers have released a list of food and drink which may be rationed post-Brexit.

The betting firm are taking bets on which household favourites could be restricted.

A no-deal Brexit could result in a shortage of perishable goods and hard-to-grow products on British shelves, experts have warned.

The UK food industry said the main impact of such a departure from the bloc will be on fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables, which cannot be stockpiled by retailers or consumers and are largely imported from the EU during the winter months.

Others said disruption to supply chains - such as through lengthy stops at borders - could have implications for product availability and consumer choice.

A Food and Drink Federation (FDF) spokesman said: "Delays and blockages at the ports would pose a particular threat. On average, we import 40% of our food and drink either directly from or via the EU.

"However, our reliance on importing is significantly higher around the October 31 exit date. We are concerned about the impact on imports where Government isn't able to secure continuity deals for existing EU preferential trade agreements.

"A no-deal scenario would see the current flows of goods into the UK be significantly reduced for a period of months at a minimum. Limited shelf life products are where impacts will be likely felt, such as fruit and vegetables, salads, certain meats and essential ingredients like processed egg.

"There is no predictability around the types of goods that will get stuck in transit on their way into the UK, and therefore the impacts for consumers and manufacturers due to delays.

"FDF supports the closest possible trade and regulatory alignment between the UK and EU and an immigration policy which ensures access to the workers we need."
