US food vs UK food

A friend sent me this. Does anyone know if this is true?
Tagging @ChristineM since you do/did live in the UK.

the government has their hands tied by big food industry and chemical company lobbyists that basically control what the FDA approves, deems safe for human consumption, and our overall food policy.

I think it's banned in Europe because of a fear it can mask poor hygiene standards.

There is some evidence that the mass production of chickens, as it has come to dominate production in the US, contributes to the proliferation of bacteria including those we don't want.

I've been reading on it. I'm interested. I'll have to look and see if it is imported here and where it might be sold.

Vicariously perhaps, through the unintended consequences of industrializing animal production. Much as the problem of E. coli O157:H7 in beef production facilitated by the demand to feed cattle on corn. The unnatural food causes pH changes in the digestive tract of cows and promotes the growth of that particularly nasty little strain of E. coli.

You oughta see the crap they try to pass off as bread...

The food industry has never been in the business of making healthy food. They are in the business of making money. Change the overall customer desire, and they will change the product.
