hmmm what about the chicken factory fiasco we had a few years back? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/23/-sp-revealed-dirty-secret-uk-poultry-industry-chicken-campylobacter I'm sure they were regulated and I don't think they were bothered about tracking bad meat.

Do you think the stock is going to make it today for a Saturday delivery?
