News: New report finds UK's future trade partners overuse antibiotics in farming

The report finds that the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which are all in trade negotiations with the UK, give antibiotics to livestock to make them grow faster, a practice which has been illegal across the EU since 2006. In 2022, the EU will ban the importation of meat and dairy produced in this way, but the UK government has not clearly committed to implementing the ban.
