It is as simple as that.
The only exception will be specialist sausages and hams.
I will buy all my meat from UK or EU Producers as I do now.
I will be buying sod all meat from the USA.
Sorry, but boris ditched that promise:
Boris Johnson*is facing a backlash for ditching a pledge to keep US chlorinated chicken out of British supermarkets under pressure from American negotiators in post-Brexit trade talks.
Tory backbenchers warned the government was in for a rebellion on the issue while animal welfare groups and opposition parties accused Boris Johnson of refusing to “stand up to Donald Trump” and “sacrificing food standards” in the name of a trade deal.
Downing Street signalled on Thursday that imports of lower-standard American food were now on the table in the negotiations, a reversal of a longstanding promise.
