Why did the European Union ban American beef?

The EU Imports Hormone Free Beef

In the late 1990s, the European Union placed a ban on American beef because it did not meet their safety standards. The European Union stated they were trying to protect their citizens from ingesting hormone laced meat because it put their health at risk. However, Americans continue to gobble up this meat like it is in short supply. Needless to say, the E.U.'s ban helped bring attention to many health issues that everyday Americans may not have contemplated. A few of these health issues include the failing nutrition values in commercial American beef, the prevalence of steroids, antibiotics and other chemicals in the meat, as well as the inhumane treatment of animals.

Since the EU felt it was necessary to ban U.S. meat, many American consumers have since chosen to only eat hormone free beef. If you are concerned about your health, and the health of your family, you should know that there is an alternative to the commercial beef products that are sold at your local supermarket. Hormone free beef dealers can easily be accessed on the Internet.
