The UK's Soil Association, which opposes the use of hormones in farming, is calling for a comprehensive testing programme of all imported beef. They wish to ensure that all beef sold in the UK is (growth) hormone free.The cite a report put out by Danish scientists that indicates that growth hormone residues may be more damaging to babies and children than previously thought.
They are certianly attempting to look after the UK consumer as the testing programme call follows one just last month that requested the ban on the use of Aspartame following health concerns thrown up by Italian researchers.
