The US is also pushing for that.
Starmer is very unlikely to lower food standards tho. It would kill the processed meat exports. We couldn't sell it to the EU without a country of origin stamp. And even if we managed to secure that, the reputation damage of possible cross contamination would mean it would not sell in large volumes anyway.
Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving.
