Re: Wishful thinking does not make good policy
"On the plus side we know its chicken. Not horse meat or the various other instances and contaminations within the EU."
The EU only sets rules for foods. Enforcement, detecting adulteration, fraud, mislabelling is a matter for the various national/local trading standards services. Which in the UK have been greatly reduced due to austerity and council budget cuts. (I think the EU only has its own enforcement officers for cartel offences.) And I think the EU also provides an system for disseminating information about problems relating to food, but the UK's just decided to leave that :(.
