And now imagine the sheer power of this single industry that EU countries are getting pressured directly (lobbyists) and indirectly (literal USA politicians) hard to lower our standards just so they could export their torture chicken carcasses here.
They succeeded in a few other industries but with chickens the standards behind food safety are just the right level of complex (mostly bcs it’s not just one agency to put pressure on, and not that the regulatory definitions are complex or anything they do being over the top - I do want industries regulated and have regular monitored reports on various things, that’s the only way you know the guidelines are followed).
Yeah.
