I've caught a few news here & there since Brexit started coming about GB receding from say higher foot safety/quality standards (because of US pressure in that specific article), and then some pesticides articles including this. Is this just a random noise or does generally EU has higher standard for environment & food safety compared to where UK is heading?

The EU does have higher standards and have more regulation than the US. The UK will set their own now, which they can lighten up.

  Except in this case some of the other EU countries have allowed the same (?) already a year ago.

Nothing to do with Brexit. Belgium and the Netherlands are doing the same, along with many other countries. I don't agree with it (modern sugar use is evil), but it has nothing to do with lowering food and safety standards as, as mentioned, some EU countries have done the same.
