>The move follows months of concern within the farming community over the UK-US trade deal, which allows up to 13,000 metric tonnes of US beef to be imported tariff-free each year. Farmers fear cheaper imports produced to lower standards could undermine the domestic industry.
I agree, although I imagine the Trump admin wont accept that without putting up a fight. I feel I recall one of the stipulation the last time they offered a trade deal with stripping origin labels off food so you wouldn’t be able to know.
Are they not concerned that adding flags to meat will only make people more inclined to shag it?
Isn’t it already? Probably needs to be more prominent anyway. And on any other supermarket goods or consumer purchases.
And can we have the size/weight displayed prominently, and standard sized containers or packaging, like in the old days?
Didn’t we agree that we would only import the US beef that meets our standards anyway?
Too little, too late. The cheaper product will just go to takeaways and restaurants.
If you’re truly committed to animal welfare, either vi veggie or go to a butcher linked to a local, small scale farm.
Industrial farming is terrible for the environment and animals.
Wouldn’t it be easier if beef from the UK and Ireland just had that written on the packaging? That way we don’t need to worry about legislating anything.
this is a blunt instrument
the majority of meat consumed in this country is through your local dodgy takeaway
the meet in those dodgy takeaway is is driven into the UK in the back of someone’s car boot or van with no refrigeration
or they are cheap meets or on the black market from farmers who still want to make money off meat they would otherwise be forced to dump
Good job lib-dems.
And can we also have clear labelling of slaughter method? Stun or non-stun? And Halal/Kosher/Regular.
Good idea, but first ban producing, importing or consuming halal.
I see nothing wrong with this. I think it should be expanded to everything.
Yes, I want to see all the gardens of the castles packed with cattle.
Absolutely. I want to know where everything comes from, ESPECIALLY my food. As a consumer I should have the right to choose. I am where I feel strongly prepared to pay more if I can afford to, principally to avoid suppliers/countries I have opinions about.
