Petition Do Not lower ANY food safety standards to obtain trade deals with any country.
There is a very real risk in order to obtain trade deals the government could change our food safety standards for the worse once we have left the EU
More details
Such things as food grown with currently banned pesticides, genetically modified foods (particularly unlabeled), chlorine/acid washed chicken, hormone/antibiotic growth promoters and animal by-products being fed back to livestock are all risks. All are not currently allowed here but all happen in the US and other countries
The UK must not allow our food safety laws to be lowered, they MUST not be relaxed in order to obtain any trade deal.
