Brexit. Destroying the UK's trade, growth and reputation on a daily basis. #FBPE
It clearly states the level of acceptable defects in food that can be sold in the US. So example here with mushrooms is 20 or more maggots per 100g is not acceptable...but 19 is ok. Yum.

Sorry, the defect list applies to plant based agri...you are likely eating maggots with your mushrooms if you eat US food.

Sorry, this isn't meat defects, this is levels of contamination allowed in plant based agri. So I guess if you are a US vegetarian you are probably eating a bunch of erm meat based protein by accident

Thanks. Makes perfect sense then, albeit, who'd pick a swazicar in the current climate.

I think American mushrooms is my favourite entry in the US FDA food standards doc. Not only will you be able to count the number of maggots in a tin of mushrooms on 4 hands, you'll be able to measure their length and fish around in the mite infested and rotten goo of mushroom yuckiness:

Time to embrace the prospect of imported US food including maggots, rat poo, and a nice layer or yummy mold....

Unfortunately you may find that depreciation accelerating even faster now. I'll bet the 2nd hand Tesla market will be swamped with people wanting to divest their losses. Anyway drive safe, or let your car drive safe.

Any chance you could interview Starmer and ask him how he is tackling the annual £50 Billion black hole left by Brexit?
It makes the other black hole look titchy by comparison....

Labour will ditch any pledge for UK GDP growth. They have no choice. 2 things happened in 2020. The UK left the EU and Covid lockdowns began. The UK contraction was deeper than the EU and the recovery is low compared to the EU. This is Brexit. Rejoining the EU is the only path to growth.
