Fancy Rat Sh!t in your Food

[Muck Spreader]

Any post Brexit deal with the US looks to include not only hormone treated beef and chlorinated chicken but rat droppings, maggots, rat hair, moulds and various other foreign bodies currently unacceptable under EU/UK standards.

I think that you may find evidence of rats in Uk origin deliveries

 

[chickens and wheat]

Yes but they our our rats, not foreign filthy ones.
Rats will leave the uk ship before it sinks anyway

Oh give it a rest. OP isn't there specific Brexit area of this Forum if you want to spend all day banging on about it.

Will we have to pay more for Fancy Rat Sh!t?

Probably not, EU/UK chicken comes with free listeria and salmonella contamination, but at least it hasn't been washed in a weak chlorine solution ( I do hope people haven't been swimming lately or drinking tap water if they are worried about chlorine ).

I'm sure rat sh!t is fine if you cook it, even the fancy stuff.

After watching Bear Grylls last night, picking bits of apple out of some sticky poo he found in the woods, I'm sure non-EU food will be delicious.

Although of course we wash our lettuce in chlorine so the poor old vegans have been suffering this poison for years

There is no wheat anywhere that will be absolutely free of rat sh!t, bird sh!t, hair, soil, mould, stone, soil etc. So buyers have to set a low tolerance level for these contaminants. Then somebody sees this and thinks it's full of it. Well it isn't, but there will always be a trace. It's unavoidable. Wheat grows outside in fields for one thing, amongst wild animals and birds. Some is bound to be contaminated. Everything is contaminated to some extent.

Wait til they find out where the water has been!

The article isn't really about the contamination levels in raw materials but in the finished food products on the shelves.

I hadn't realised they contain rat sh!t. Still that is probably far safer to eat than the soya they do contain.

Think it was actually bones from a rat or a bird but it was several years ago when her food products suffered from contamination

Don't knock 'em, we were so poor growing up mother used them in fruit cake instead of raisins.
