Congratulations on completing such an important investigation.
If you remember, a few months ago a spot check was carried out on 22 lorryloads of imported food and 21 were found to contain rotten food.
Food leaving the UK is subject to checks, yet imported food isn’t because our useless government did not prepare for brexit. Where do you think that rotten food ends up?
> The processor, which cannot be named for legal reasons, has also been accused by former employees of regularly “washing” hams that are visibly off, or mixing rotting pork with fresh product for further processing.
> The business would buy a relatively small volume of British meat from a retailer-approved supplier, then use the traceability information from this delivery for all the products it made in that week – with the majority coming from elsewhere in the world.
> There is no suggestion that any of the processor’s customers were aware of the criminal practices, which took place for at least two decades and very likely beyond 2020, as auditors who visited the site were deceived.
and people wonder why the agri sector refuse to give jobs to native workers, or pay wages to cover expenses?

>‘Do you want the effing job? Get back in there’.”
yep. thats another paraphrase of the “if you dont like it we can have agency migrant workers in to replace you by monday”. and i was lucky enough to never work in food factories.
isnt it nice living under an economic religion that demands and engineers poverty?

Will probably get downvoted for this but I wish we imported more meat from other countries and used fields for cattle and pigs to replant trees and improve rain capture
The EU doesn’t have great food safety standards, they even brag about it for some reason, back when they were trying to smear American food and it just highlighted that EU actually had less regulation than America. https://techround.co.uk/business/american-food-standards/
Who could possibly predict this outcome of repeatedly refusing to implement border checks on goods freight? Absolutely shocking I tell you. Tories refusing to govern and the rest of us have to deal with the consequences.
Does UK ‘s food chain still have lots of horseplays? It’s been years since the last one. One would expect less horsing around.
