Petition

Stop the import of sub standard foods from the USA

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to ban any imports of chlorinated chicken, hormone feed beef and GM products from being part of any trade deal between the USA and UK.
I believe this is needed to protect British farmers from having to compete with cheap sub standard food imports. To protect livestock farming standards in the UK. As well as the general population from any possible health implications. These foods are grown for profit above anything else, not necessarily for the good of the end consumer.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Food Standards Agency says: "All products imported into Great Britain (GB) must comply with our food and feed safety requirements. These laws are put into place to protect public health." https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/importing-high-risk-food-and-feed-of-non-animal-origin-hrfnao-into-great-britain
