Processed goods like jelly or gravy could be unavailable in NI at the end of the protocol grace period, according to Stormont's agriculture minister.
Edwin Poots acknowledged Northern Ireland has plenty of homegrown produce, such as beef or potatoes.
But he warned trimmings like Bisto or trifle could be missing from traditional Sunday dinners.
He also stood by his claim that action was needed to avert "a major crisis" over food supplies.
However, political opponents have accused him of scaremongering.
Mr Poots said the official minute of a meeting he held with suppliers - at which he was told of a potential problem supplying schools, hospitals and prisons - backs him up.
Speaking in the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday he repeated his claim and accused media outlets, including the BBC, as well as other politicians, of being "disingenuous".

Who buys gravy?????
All my life our gravy is homemade.
Yes! I used to eat there! We had one near my house in Ft. Lauderdale!........................................
So, what else is new?
As a kid in Ohio I loved that!
It appears they still have two locations still open in Cleveland area.
My guess is that this might encourage domestic jello production? The women in my family all seem to be able to ‘manufacture’ gravy at home; they must possess some magical ability.
Stacy Abrams has a gravy tanker delivered daily
I can get good fish, but malt vinegar is harder to find.
She IS a gravy tanker!
She IS a gravy sucking pig!!!
“But he warned trimmings like Bisto or trifle could be missing from traditional Sunday dinners”
There are two issues here.
(1) Bisto and trifle are not essentials and (2) the assertion many in Northern Island eat a traditional Sunday dinner.
Brexit - and in particular the special arrangements for the island of Ireland - are creating some short term troubles for the UK.
Beans beans good for the heart, the more you eat the more you fart, the more you fart the better you feel, so eat your beans at every meal.
It looks like Brexit left Northern Ireland on the wrong side of the UK/EU border because of various agreements allowing an open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. What a mess.
They live in a union that rammed abortion down the throat of the last part of the island of Ireland that had it illegal. (Influenced by the union that they just left, for the record, but the “divorce” has not been ideological. So forget about “domestic entrepreneurs” except on a very small scale.)
“British” is not a nation. Now English, Welsh and Scottish are . . .
We don’t have any of those restaurants either........................
Neither do England, Scotland or Wales. But they have plenty of pubs and fish-and-chips places.
You go overseas and there aren’t any explicitly “American restaurants” either, although the chains like McDonald’s (a Scottish name) are understood to be so.
I ate at a Burger King in Germany. It wasn’t quite the same............................
In my younger days I met a woman who just moved here from England.
She thought she was doing me a favor by inviting me over and cooking for me.
That was our last date (omg the food was _awful_).
