25 cents?! I guess Merkins are much more honest than Brits (or we are FAR lazier)
We have to pay
£1 deposit!

They still have to adhere to laws for human consumption and labelling.
Although I'll admit I don't buy fresh meat there, but it's because I prefer to buy free range/ RSPCA certified.
I'll happily buy cured meats at Aldi or Lidl - they have a better selection of European meats than our smaller supermarkets. Which is a cop-out - I'll buy Serrano ham or Prosciutto without even questioning how the pigs were raised. And I know perfectly well that they're more likely to be factory farmed on the mainland.
