How many ounces in a normal-sized jar? ((ounces/3.5)*(30 insect pieces))!!!yup! 30 insect parts per 3.5oz (100g) and now they expect the uk to accept those standards in the name of free trade!
Yummy!
Fly tongues. Roach rectums!!! Deeeeee-lish!!!!
Just my two cents.
Typical big ugly dirty American stereotype, perhaps? And this is coming from the country that gave the world mad cow disease due to their practice of feeding bovine animal by-products to calves and dairy cows? Does it meet the definition of cannibalism, BTW?
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy - Wikipedia
From those cleanliness- and food-hygiene-obsessed Brits who wrap their fish and chips in old newspapers?
So the question is, just because GB doesn't have allowable standards for food contaminants, is their food cleaner? Or are we just being more realistic? I don't have an answer, but I'm curious. Bugs, rodents, fruit flies, weevils, worms, and mold are present everywhere food is produced--that's nature. The more organic and natural the farming methods, the more contaminants. I buy organic pasta from Italy from Whole Foods--every third box has bugs in it--and bug eggs. Just Google weeevils--they are everywhere where grains are present.
And on that happy note, I wish you a good night!

Oh they don't like chlorinated chicken? I don't either, but it surely beats the alternative...
UK food poisoning cases exceed 1M
Contaminated eggs scare grows as UK supermarkets pull products
Common food poisoning cause targeted
I could go on, but I think I've made my point...
I found my answer:
Girl, 12, discovers 'maggots' in bag of Morrisons rice
Aldi shoppers find maggots and chunks of METAL in food | Daily Mail Online
Bread could be contaminated by rat hairs and droppings, experts warn
"NPTA director Peter Crowden said: "It's a brave man who says that no rat droppings or hair gets into our bread. There's a lot of grain in a 30-tonne lorry and they don't test it all. And what about the rats urinating over it all as they run through?" "
UK Army soldiers who shared images of disgusting meals warned of legal action | Daily Mail Online
"The grim meals, which included maggot-infested tomatoes, mouldy eggs and raw chicken, hit the headlines earlier this week after a number of servicemen shared pictures on social media. (snip) An online petition to Parliament calling for investigations into the standard of food served to the military and Sodexo services already has over 10,000 signatures." [Sodexo is a French company, BTW.]
And then there's this:
Welcome to Britain's first insect restaurant
Tins of bugs and insects wing their way into British kitchens
I rest my case.

that seems to be the main sticking point and they have good reasons
US urges UK to embrace chlorinated chicken
no tweety, it does not beat the alternative - it's a way to take shortcuts and they are being taken. i'm not overly sensitive but after stumbling across a local chicken 'farm' i rarely eat chicken now
lol! we got tweety all riled up
You did alright!
And don't even get me started on endangered sharks and contaminated horse meat scandals.
Exclusive: FSA accused over tainted horsemeat sent to Europe
UK fish and chip shops are selling endangered sharks, DNA tests prove
No, America is not perfect, and Trump is, well, I better not say what I think, but EU is not much better.
And a very good morning to you, Tibs, Snails. It's raining again.

As an animal rights person and as a human being, I have very serious reservations wrt our factory farming practices. So this point is valid and I'm not going to argue. We still eat meat, but at least I try to buy it from places that provide animal welfare ratings and it (I hope) lets me make better choices. I choose grass-fed, free-range meat whenever possible. But none of this is pretty.
And how exactly do we get rid of those lethal pathogens in meat? Irradiation?
