"federal scrutiny"
Does the UK have a federal government, ie, a hierarchy with central govt and state govts? I've never noticed the use of 'federal' in British politics.
I don't know about your 'federal' question.
However, when I read this article I couldn't help but think about the Bird Flu problems they've had at the turkey farm in the UK.
They're worried now that some of the tainted turkey may have gotten into the dog/pet food supply and that gulls and other birds are scavenging thrown away portions at the local dumps.
And, the Japanese are suspicious that rats are responsible for their recent BF outbreaks.
