What a load of tosh. Morrison's doesn't come high up at all. How much has Greene been paid? Aldi is the one, followed by Waitrose to whom our local sheep farmer supplies. [Link]

Quote The inquiry was called after the Guardian and ITV News recorded undercover footage in August showing 2 Sisters workers altering the source and slaughter date of poultry being processed at the firm’s Site D plant in West Bromwich. Other 2 Sisters workers have also told the Guardian and ITV News that they have been instructed to alter “kill dates”. Further footage showed chicken being retrieved from the floor of the plant and returned to the production line, plus older chicken being mixed with fresher birds. Prof Chris Elliott, a food safety academic from Queen’s University Belfast who led the UK government’s independent review of food systems after the 2013 horsemeat scandal, said he had inspected many food businesses in the past four years and had “never seen one operate under such poor standards” as the video evidence showed.

Foodborne illness hits one in six Americans every year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, estimating that 48 million people get sick due to one or another of 31 pathogens. About 128,000 people end up in the hospital while 3,000 die annually. From CNN Interestingly this is getting worse, not better. Or perhaps you would like to look at China, man you should see the scale of their problem. Bear in mind that foodborne illness costs a huge amount to manage. And that burden falls onto the healthcare system. So in the US it's like a tax on people, who pay directly for their own care. If we end up picking up the financial burden of worse controls in the UK, it will hit us all through the NHS. So in the end we are lining the pockets of American producers through an NHS subsidy.
