Subject: Re: The British food system means to produce much too much and to have short expiration dates.

gogul: Rubbish!

WE import so much, that is the problem.... and Health and Safety requires that food that can be poisonous is not sold. And they have to allow imperfect conditions on storage as well as a safe period so that goods do not suddenly go off on the stroke of midnight.

I don't throw away yoghurts, and the EU law about fruit & veg shape and size is being fought at the moment.

... Switzerland has Health and Safety regulations doesn't it... or does it sell poisonous food?? If it does.. then the EU would ban imports from Switzerland, so your chocolate makers would loose most of their trade!!
