If it's marked for UK consumption then it looks like any old stuff is getting through to us. Why should the EU do all the hard work for the UK? I'm pretty sure that this is not the standard of checking given to meats sold in the EU including when the UK was a member.
Based on the evidence in the Standard article, the benefits seem to outweigh the costs of not doing checks but the government has obviously calculated differently.
