I guess people could choose not to eat that chicken

we will see UK bred chickens labelled as such and people will have a choice to buy US or UK chicken, alot like we do with free range eggs

my local Chinese advertises that it uses free range eggs and no GMO ingredients

my local Thai food place advertises it uses no GMO ingredients

one of the kebab / pizza places in town has on the window that all meat is not Halal

Mr Kiplings cakes and cake bars say they only use free range eggs

so hardly unheard of that they label food, we can make a choice

if you dont want to run the risk of eating that chicken, dont eat chicken

Which of these tells you where their chicken comes from?

We have an ArchDuke of Brexit as a British Minister of State explicitly stating that the UK will not lower its standards and will only raise them in relation to a US Trade deal and now we have the Prime Minister's Office saying totally the opposite. Still we hold all the cards eh!

none, but it shows that it is possible for the UK to label food so the end consumer can made decisions

This following news may shock you but - takeaways are not regulated to a degree that ensures that they actually comply with their boasts.

A local Chinese takeaway that I once used made similar boasts about free range eggs but were found to be lying.

my youngest daughter went to primary school with one of the sons of my local Chinese, they do use free range eggs

This might shock you, you have options, if you dont want to run the risk, do not eat takeaways, job done

Do you know why they chlorinate the chicken? It is because they are bred in such awful conditions where hygiene is low, and animal welfare is crap.

Do you know if this will appear on labels?

Do you know if British farmers will have to take less care of their chickens in order to compete with the cheap American imports.

Think about it (I presume you can actually think - although your lack of response to my question about cookies suggests otherwise, clock is ticking on that one). How could it ever be economically feasible that importing chicken from 2,000 miles away is viable?

[CCFCC3PO]

This trade deal is important for America, they need our rubber bullets so they can shoot news journalists. They need our tear gas, BRITISH Tear gas, it's the best in the world for dispersing peacful protests.

Now all you need to know is what your government's definition of "Non GMO" is.

Now all you need to know is what your government's definition of "Non GMO" is.

I don't have as many problems with GMO food as others - but that doesn't mean I don't think it should be fully dispelled to consumers exactly what they are eating so that they actually have an option (providing they are not skint and are forced to buy and eat crap).

[CCFCC3PO]

I'm pretty confident that Blue Matt didn't read the article, but the UK answer to importing cheaply produced food is to slap a larger tarriff on it. It's not spoken about labelling at all.

In fact, the wonderful Brexit Party, sorry, Conservatives, are going further and suggesting that this large tarriff can be reduced to 0% over a 10 year period to "allow British farmers to adapt to a new normal". Now, I am not a betting man, but I would bet 50p that this "new normal" doesn't involve forcing chickens to Socially distance or, in fact, to distance at all.

This shows how biased people are, Matt is a vegetarian because he worries about animal welfare.

But because he voted brexit he’s now arguing that this isn’t bad.

Why can’t people realise things aren’t black and white and you can still criticise things even if you voted for them.

I have never said this isnt bad, i have said people will have a choice, UK chickens will be labelled as such and people will choose what they want to eat, just like they do eggs

Personally i dont want to see any animals killed for food, but thats another argument

They 'will' be labelled as such?

I fully understand your view , it may provide a USA bound export opportunity as trade is two way for farmers / butchers to perhaps trade the other way . I know a butcher whose business was saved by going on line and exporting his meats to the USA clients .

It may see growth in farmer market / and butchers , where folk as you rightly point out can make an educated choice .

Does the butcher have a website, and could you share it?

It makes you wonder why nobody is currently selling clearly labelled chlorinated chicken.

Must be a lack of demand as people exercise their options, surely?
