      Worth noting that UK costoms allowed the import of sweets made with illegal in the UK ingredients for years.

      As bad as US food standards are. This is a huge failure of UK standards enforcement. Not a US one.

        Well it is also a failure of the US to implement decent food standards.

          Yep but they are enforcing the standards they have. So it’s more not wanting to then failing.

          We are failing to enforce. The US has now requirement to meet UK standards. We have the requirement to ban companies that don’t.
