For the other five hormones used in the US, the available evidence is insufficient to show that their use is acceptably safe. While the EU had the power and resources to enforce its decision to reject hormone-treated beef, it is doubtful whether the UK, acting alone, will have similar leverage.
I deal with the FDA regs on a daily basis, Solasch, I have to as a compliance consultant for the Pharma Industry. Do you think the FDA has no idea about food safety or something ?
You need to get educate.
I also read the food and beverage regs from time to time just to keep me up to date with trade and stuff like that.
You do realise that hormones in cattle is virtually undetectable, certainly less than what you find in eggs by the time its processed ?
The EU make up these stories all the time because they want to protect their over priced internal processed crap from Germany, Denmark and France and instead peddle it within the EU to stop them going bankrupt and to make sure poor people can't afford it.
It's just more EU propaganda Solasch, and you fall for it every time.
