Government votes to reduce food standards 17:14 - May 26 with 15510 viewskarnataka

While the nation is understandably distracted by the pandemic, the b4$tards have voted through to have post-Brexit food standards and environmental standards removed from the Agriculture Bill after promising they wouldn't. Welcome to American sub-standard food.

It’s inevitable.

If we were going to raise standards why would we leave EU?

So many people are going to regret what they did but it’ll be in years to come not now

The only answer is to be very careful where you shop and what you buy. If chlorinated chicken pops up in Asda and Tesco, you don't have to buy it.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

It’s not as simple as that to compete we will have to lower standards accordingly

If it appears not as whole chickens but in other food (burgers, curries, soups) then you probably won't even know.

To date Boris’s pledge about there being no border in the Irish Sea has been proven to be a fib or a mistake and now they have broken a manifesto pledge to protect food standards. It won’t only harm the farmers, our food processing and food manufacturing industries will suffer as they won’t be able to export to Europe unless they can provenance their ingredients which will be very difficult. Be interesting to see what happens about importing food to Northern Ireland as once there it could easily be transported to the ROI and then Europe.

The US demands no labelling. I can write pages on this. Essentially food safety and animal welfare is what my research aims to improve. US standards are where we were in the 1980s. We have improved so much levels of Salmonella infections have dropped by 75%. The US is higher than where we were in 1988 (the Edwina Currie statement). Minimal welfare
Standards. Heavy use of antibiotics. Hormone injections to increase growth. Everything farmers and scientists have pushed forward in the last 30 years with support of EU legislation,
spaffed away for gammons to ‘get back control ‘ and blue passports.

No one should dismiss this as remainer propaganda- it is all true

Yep. My reply to Catullus was a lazy quick one, but when we lived in the States for a bit we found it hard sometimes to determine the provenance of meat. Some was labelled hormone-free, presumably in response to consumer demand. But we had no way of knowing if that was genuine. And in places like schools you'd have no idea what kind of crap was being served up, and that's where this stuff will be going if it can be imported more cheaply. It's very much a retrogressive step.

All true. Reasonably easy to find decent stuff in East and West coast cities and university towns,
But the standard crap is crap

The Irish Sea is the new EU border.

Johnson lied.

Of course there will be checks so no need for a border on the island of Ireland.

Animal welfare suffers too - the US has less rigorous standards around how animals are kept and transported.

The N. Irish border claim was a lie, 100% not a mistake as it was widely explained at the time.

How they've responded over Cummings this weekend is exactly how they behaved over Brexit for 4 years, just that people were conditioned, largely by Cummings, into supporting and promoting the lies. Hence why he's too important to sack. It's all very sad and predictable. We have voluntarily let this lot make our lives poorer (in a whole number of ways).

There is not limit on travel to slaughter time. There is not maximum stocking density (the space each animal has.). There is requirement to check on animal health or welfare on a daily basis.

Industrialised production of pigs, chickens and cattle on a huge scale. Massive levels of disease and carriage of foodborne pathogens

Hard to say. In terms of Food poisoning i would expect perhaps a doubling. I can’t importation of eggs being viable. These are still the biggest source of Salmonella in the US. We eat more chicken than ever, so given there is about five to fifteen times more in US chicken,
More in US pigs and more Salmonella and E. coli in cattle I would expect a rise. Perhaps a doubling of these infections

Chlorination of chicken will have little effect on health- the objection is why it needs to be done. The biggest worries are residues of hormones and drugs in meat and the higher likelihood of introducing antimicrobial resistant bacterial strains. We take this very seriously-
For example we have dropped the use of antibiotics even for therapeutic reasons by over 80% in U.K. chicken production. Levels of use are still massive in US agriculture

Or alternatively, just cook the meat properly.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
