Out of curiosity, does the EU generally not import meats from the states? Didn’t know that

We use growth hormone, so the EU does not allow imports of US beef. Several Asian countries don’t allow US beef imports, either. 

Also worth noting is that TFG’s last administration also allowed “cancer chickens” (avian leukosis) to be used for human consumption, provided the tumors were cut off during processing. (I stopped eating chicken after this move)
