They can send as much as they like we don't have to buy it and eat it. They won't send if we refuse to eat it.
Excellent example, swimming in chlorinated water (with urine)! The chlorine is added to kill harmfull bacteria, from diseased people, you might swallow.
The same for washing chicken with chlorinated water. The production process in america is so rude that bowel content (shit) with bacteria gets on the meat. To protect the consumers from food poisoning the meat is desinfected with chlorine which kills most, but not all!, bacteria.
So there remains a small risk of salmonella poisoning. CDC in the usa estimates*Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths in the United States every year. Food is the source for about 1 million of these illnesses.
You WILL eat it, since you don't know. The UK doesn't believe in the EU directive of printing country of origin on food packaging.
Bon appetit!
