Race to the bottom Does the race to the bottom include selling horse meat as beef or removing the sell by dates on chicken and relabeling them with a later date

Our food is better quality than anywhere else in the world. I for one do not want to see a race to the bottom. Presumably you feel the same way about fireworks and building materials. Why do we need regulation, the market will manage it Simple naivety. How's your race to the bottom with disgusting halal slaughter methods?

Yes because of British Safety standards & not EU Directives. The Meat Hygiene Service (now FSA) was set up largely in response to a new EU Directive on meat. It was more demanding than predecessor UK regulations that were managed by local authorities

All of this concern over lowering food standards. You guys have obviously never bought a Lidi Cornish Pastie. I'm amazed I'm still here. Good point well made Albeit Aldi is actually one of the best at managing its food supply chain, usually buying locally. Along with the Lidl in New Addington.

Actually, those Salmonella stats are fascinating (yes, I know, bloody sad). I appreciate the 1.2 million cases is a CDC estimate but how many are actually reported? For example, there were over 94,000 cases reported across the EU in 2016. Is the criteria for measuring it an agreed international standard? Or is it based solely on hospitalisations? I understand that most cases are from eggs or egg derived products. How would that impact on beef? Genuine question here because I do like to understand how data is arrived at. There are issues with each meat type. Salmonella is primarily related to chicken which is where this thread had been focusing. BSE is also an issue, as is scrapie

BSE is also an issue, as is scrapie And to put it in perspectives "CDC estimates Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths in theUnited States every year. Food is the source for about 1 million of these illnesses. Most persons infected withSalmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection." So 1 million from food, and that is not to do with the chlorine is it. Edited by dannyboy1978 (21 Mar 2019 7.30am)
