YSK that average or even lower quality meat from the EU would almost always be considered 'premium' by US standards. What Americans eat on a daily basis is straight up illegal in the EU. Leave it to the richest country on the planet to feed its citizens with literal poisoned trash.

Can confirm. The UK has some of the most delicious meat I've tasted, and I know for a fact that someone right now living in the EU cringed internally just reading this sentence lol

Nah the UK adopted EU food safety standards in full and didn't get rid of them post brexit.

...yet.

Soon US "beef" (may or may not contain animal protein) and US "nacho cheeze" (contains no dairy) will be all over the UKs shelves.
