      Or Mad Cows (which seems to have lingered on)

      What started with a single dead cow infected in 1984, led to one of the biggest food related dilemmas in the 1990s. BSE, or Mad Cow Disease, affects the nervous system and eventually kills the cow,however once infected the meat cannot be consumed. This led to 4.4 million cows being slaughtered, an EU ban on British beef exports for ten years from 1996 and its human counterpart, CJD allegedly killed over 220 people.
      And don't forget when the UK has a free trade agreement with countries such as China:

      Worldwide safety concerns were sparked when high levels of industrial chemical melamine was found in powdered and ordinary milk from leading companies across China. The scale of the problem was horrifying. At least six babies died and a further 300,000 were taken ill after drinking tainted milk. The scandal culminated in the bankruptcy of dairy suppliers the Sanlu Group and the sentencing of 21 executives and milk producers, two of whom were given the death penalty.
      ...
      China’s food problems didn’t end there. In 2011, watermelon farmers were perplexed when their fruit began exploding. It was thought the bizarre combustion was due to the use of a growth accelerator. The bizarre events masked more serious concerns about the country’s food supply chain with a catalogue of issues being exposed that year include toxic beansprouts, steroid-laced pork and meat which glowed in the dark.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
