Antibiotics are allowed and, unfortunately, used plenty in the EU. Growth hormones on the other hand are banned. As far as I know, those are standard in the US, so farmers can’t simply export surplus production.
That’s normally absolutely not allowed in the EU, and has been forbidden Union-wide since january 22. They can only be used as a treatment when an animal has a specific disease.
Doubtless some people cheat, but that’s another problem.
I think a lot of countries had stopped before then (although it still lasted way too long), but it’s good that there’s a global ban for the outliers).
Ideally, whatever we import should follow the same production constraints. But I’m not sure if that’s the case.
And antibiotics surely play no role either

Wow you’re right! I thought it was still normal to pump all animals full of antibiotics as a preventative measure. Thanks for the correction!
