The UK government assured the public that hormone-reared beef will not be allowed in the UK market following a recent trade deal with the US. Concerns among farmers and consumers persist about the potential introduction of hormone-treated beef, especially since the UK has maintained bans on such products since 1989. Officials emphasized ongoing stringent food standards, certification procedures, and border checks aimed at safeguarding public health, even as the trade agreement increases the volume of beef imported and exported between the two countries.
The rules on food standards have not changed and they will not change as a result of the deal, ensuring the safety of UK consumers.
How do we know what they are putting in? The consumers' unease highlights the sensitivity around hormone-reared beef and the potential risks involved.
