UK Urged to Ban Imports of Brazilian Meat Over Health Concerns The National Farmers' Union (NFU) and its sister organizations have written to the government, warning that the UK's reliance on Brazilian meat imports puts public health at risk.
This concern is not new; experts have been sounding the alarm for years about the dangers of antibiotic resistance.
According to Cóilín Nunan, of the Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics, resistant pathogens can spread internationally on food, and it's alarming that we're still importing meat from countries like Brazil where such irresponsible practices are allowed.
