Indeed many pathogens and bacteria can remain in human waste unless it is heat treated. Class A biosolids are heat-treated sewage/silage that is an improvement over evaporative heat/air drying techniques like Indian streetshitting. Thermal treatments, often containing chemicals that process human sewage through pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal liquefaction make it much safer. No one in the UK is just shitting on potatoes as OP would imply.

What you say never happens actually does happen at a municipal sewage settling pond near me. Every year workers pump the pond sludge into huge tanks like dairy farmers use and haul it to a ~300 acre field across the road where they plow/inject it into the soil. I have watched it with my own eyes. No processing, no heating. I've seen corn, wheat, sunflowers and sugar beets grown on that field. It's in Minnesota, if you're wondering.

You remember right. When all the bad legal and illegal pharmaceuticals and possibly pathogens in human waste are spread on fields, the poisons are taken up in crops and added to the food supply. Bad, bad, bad idea.
