If I’m in Denmark to drink beer I take the custom where I am. If the tap water isn’t good, I drink something else.

In my town we had a huge outbreak of cryptosporidium which poisoned all tap water in the city, so no matter regulations no place is guaranteed safe. That’s why you test stuff. If anyone find unhealthy results you need to contain, treat and inform to minimize damage and exposure risk

The reason we are known as arrogant swots is probably not our husbandry rules but our foreign policies that can be naive or straight up delusional (such as thinking chat control is net positive).

I don’t really know though since I have no possibility to leave my farm to travel, neither in time or monetary capabilities

Well yes that’s another reason but trust me when I say that you’re not the only European country with standards for milk and eggs. There’s nothing to brag about. Also, do you even raw pork.

Yeah, we haven’t had trichinella in our domestic pork animals for ages so we can indeed eat raw pork

The thread started about infected milk so I just gave an example of an area where the risk is minimal to emphasize that it’s a legislation or control issue rather than an issue with the food item by itself. I didn’t mean to attack you or imply that any other country is lesser, just that it’s possible to combat if the political will exists
