Do Not lower ANY food safety standards to obtain trade deals with any country.

Closed 76 signatures

What the petition asks

There is a very real risk in order to obtain trade deals the government could change our food safety standards for the worse once we have left the EU

Such things as food grown with currently banned pesticides, genetically modified foods (particularly unlabeled), chlorine/acid washed chicken, hormone/antibiotic growth promoters and animal by-products being fed back to livestock are all risks. All are not currently allowed here but all happen in the US and other countries

The UK must not allow our food safety laws to be lowered, they MUST not be relaxed in order to obtain any trade deal.
