Brexit: false comparisons

Currently the UK authorities can take action against a company that has excrement in their products. Once the US regulations are in, they won't be able to.

The US regulations will dictate how much excrement can be shoved down your throat.

Isn't that the guy who wanted an EFTA deal? Are you supporting that, then?

0 grams, that's what no allowed limits means.

Soon you'll be able to eat excrement.

Excrement allowed under US food regulations



Bon appetit

What are the EU limits?

[shaunbhoy]

Do you think there is no foreign body contamination in your EU food?

I can see where you are going wrong with that......

[BlasterBates]

Excrement allowed under US food regulations

US producers are allowed to include up to 30 insect fragments in a 100-gram jar of peanut butter; as well as 11 rodent hairs in a 25-gram container of paprika; or 3 milligrams of mammalian excreta (typically rat or mouse excrement) per each pound of ginger.

That should be an option on the ballot paper.

Pretty sure back in the day under a labour government we had a 3 day week - and that did not work out too well..

We are going to have a zero day week the things are going in the Market just now.

UK legislation, commencing with the Food Safety Act 1990 and continuing through the General Food Regulations 2004, introduced and maintain the concept of ‘due diligence’ which allows a manufacturer or seller to claim that, whilst the foreign body is present in the product, they have done as much as is ‘reasonably practicable’ to prevent the contamination.
European legislation requires that food complies with various hygiene regulations specifying that food must be safe. All potential hazards must be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level.
In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations on Adulteration involving Hard or Sharp Foreign Objects legislates in this area. The FDA considers that a product is adulterated if it contains a sharp or hard foreign object that measures 7 – 25 mm in length, is ready to eat or requires minimal preparation that would not eliminate or neutralise the hazard prior to consumption. Failure to protect product may lead to prosecution by the regulatory authorities.

EUR-Lex - l21290 - EN - EUR-Lex

EU legislation: 178/2002: laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and procedures in matters of food safety 852/2004 (and associated regulations): on the hygiene of foodstuffs

EUR-Lex - 32002R0178 - EN - EUR-Lex

EUR-Lex - 32004R0852 - EN - EUR-Lex

So the EU turns a blind eye to food safety then. Good job we're leaving.

Legislation | Food Safety

In the EU there are no allowable limits for foreign bodies in food products. In the USA there are and when those limits found to have been exceed then action is taken. Which do you think is the safest policy?

The Three-Day Week was one of several measures introduced in the United Kingdom by the Conservative government to conserve electricity,

Here's some pictures: 1974: The three day working week | Politics | The Guardian

[original PM]

Labour has a clear message, a 4 day week, no student debt, no chlorinated chicken, and pain killers will still be available on the NHS.

This is an effective sales pitch.

be afraid
