Pat's Note: The label I would like to see, would be "MRSA Free"

"British Pork - From MRSA Free herds" would bring the real premium prices
and save the pig industry.

I can't see the problem. Can you? The French, Danes, Dutch, Belgians and
Canadians, let alone Singapore can't say it. They have admitted that their
pigs have MRSA.

The statement would be true wouldn't it?

It would not be in restraint of free trade and would not mislead the
consumer. Perfectly acceptable and the road to a massive premium price.

Is there a problem?

Why laws on labelling how pigs are reared will not work

Published: (31-01-2008)

The RSPCA's calls to Defra for more precise regulations which define what is
mean by phrases such as 'outdoor reared' and 'outdoor-bred' could cause
difficulties for the pig industry, a firm of lawyers has warned.

This week the RSPCA has written to Defra, the FSA, BPEX, the British Retail
Consortium and leading supermarkets demanding a change to the labelling amid
concerns that the lack of information could mislead the consumer.

Do you have even a shred of evidence for this claim?

Only because the general public is woefully ignorant of the causes and
consequences of infection. For example consistently referring to it as
MRSA, rather than acknowledging that MRSA is simply a methicillin
resistant form of Staphylococcus aureus. And MSSA is everywhere.

What matters more, much more, than the exact form of Staphylococcus
aureus that an organism, animal or human, has is appropriate infection
control and hygiene at all stages of production. Testing for MRSA and
reacting in panic is actually a dilution of effort and focuses attention
on a tiny aspect of a potential problem.
