The EU has some of the highest food standards in the world so this seems more like a bad thing to place on your food packaging
A lot of remainers on the internet are mentally unwell, it has been pretty sad watching them deteriorate these last few years
I’m just surprised to see seasoned chicken in the U.K. What madness is this!
