Boris Johnson's planned post-Brexit trade deal with Donald Trump will lead to UK consumers being forced to consume products containing rat hairs and maggots, Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn will warn today.
In a speech in Essex Corbyn will warn that any agreement with the US would force the UK to accept existing US food standards which allow set amounts of maggots, rodent hairs and excrement in ingredients, as revealed by Business Insider last year.
"Given the chance, they'll slash food standards to US levels where 'acceptable levels' of rat hairs in paprika and maggots in orange juice are allowed and they'll put chlorinated chicken on our supermarket shelves," he is expected to say.

Scaremongering horseshit. Besides, nobody is going to force people to buy American food if they don’t want.
I smell desperation.
If you read what is allowed, you may want to grow your own food, go fishing on weekends and have a cow, a bull and a pig in your yard. Yes...a pig I say.....BACON.
The same people that introduced us to the words “mad cow disease” and want us eating crickets, ok then.
Eat kosher. End of problem.
As a gardener I understand that no harvest is pristine (but home grown is usually cleaner).
This is globalist nonsense.
Exactly. What they are saying, in essence, is the USA has better testing and labeling laws than Europe.
All food has some microscopic contaminants. Out ability to test and discover them has increased.
I am waiting for the nanny state idiots and zero-tolerance fools to demand there be *zero* of the many microscopic contaminants that exist in the natural world, thereby requiring we eat nothing.
They are that ignorant and stupid.
If they’re talking about Michelle forcing the Brits to eat what she forces our children to eat (at her schools), then yes, he has a point.
Jeremy Corbyn is contaminated with soul maggots.
Bring in that Trojan Horse and the UK will make Venezuela look like an upscale resort.
Where is Alan B’Stard when you need him?
That's correct. If he's going to pretend that homegrown mass production food has no insect parts in them, he's full of baloney.
I once drank a can of coke and it had an entire cockroach sealed inside it. That spurred me to investigate the law. That was indeed very, very illegal. But the law DOES allow some insect parts, like one egg per every three million gallons or something absurdly small like that. It's not an issue.
Ground coffee beans can contain up to 10% of insect parts before the FDA is alarmed.
(Grind your own!)
These are the same people that eat lye and feed lamb brains to their cattle.
Project Fear Part II.
Btw does anybody in the UK eat chicken salad? Guess what. The chicken in that is chlorine washed. It’s an exception to the existing regulation. So you see, you never stopped eating chicken which had been treated by a chlorine wash. There are zero adverse health consequences.
Yeah, in the UK, they simply don’t have the time, or money, or frankly, the interest, in actually testing for these things.
We test the heck out of our food, and it turns out that this stuff shows up everywhere, and you need a “minimum” or else nobody would have any food to eat.
It would be hilarious for someone to smuggle some british food into one of our FDA test sites, and see how bad it really is.
There is a reason we don’t let anybody bring food into our country.
Sorry, but that's nonsense. See the website of the Food Standards Agency for a general understanding of the British approach, and in particular the 'about us' and research sections. EU regulations in this area are largely derived from the British model:
” I once drank a can of coke and it had an entire cockroach sealed inside it”
Is that what caused you to become a Pepsi junkie instead? :)
Although I'm off the pepsi now. But after 18 years I'll just keep the name
