If the EEC has any advantage to it, its regulation of food standards. The quality controls are better when there are a number of countries with a common standard and jealously maintaining control. As always there have been issues, but they are more unlikely to be contained when you have different countries checking up on each other. Once the problem is in the public domain, its usually gets fixed really quickly.

The "British Sausage" is a case in point. -g-

Like all episodes, there is a lot of truth in the plot.

When it comes to "mechanically recovered" meat taken off a carcass a lot of people want to puke. The fact is through its more or less the same thing when you make a bowl of soup with bones in it. The main point is stopping farmers and industrial processes from adding muck to the food that wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. I would include growth hormones and other nasty chemicals on that list.

It’s an age old problem.
