The next time I wanted a bag I was told the EU had listed it
as hazardous (25kg might give you a hernia??), and you could only get it
in tiny 1kg boxes - which cost around 7 pounds.

Eh? In Germany: 25 kg bag of ferrous sulphate 15,95 EUR plus 6,90 postage,
orderable online, delivery in 3-4 days, as of today.

Seems the EU got blamed for a lot that just ain't so.

Yes - I know (hence the Brexit vote to leave).
