As an American... don't cave. Boycott US products even if your countries give in. Otherwise we'll never learn our lesson.

It's the best chlorinated chicken in the world, believe me, so beautiful...
A friend of mine worked as a butcher for Stop & Shop for a while. He had so many horrible stories of boot-shaped bruises on the chickens, overly saline-injected breasts gushing puddles on the block, partially cooked chicken from the heat shrink and labeling process, and more I can’t even remember right now. Our food supply chain is vile, and this was back in ~2000.

It wont be allowed to be marked as either from the US or chlorinated if it ever does come over. The people paying Trump to push this know that if the UK public can spot it they wont buy it so any deal would mandate that it doesn't have to be stamped.

You can't make people eat it though.

UK is not EU.
Still Europe. Just as Norway, Switzerland, and much of the Balkans are Europe. But not EU.

Gosh, then will pour chlor over my chicken dish myself before serving, like some sort of crime scene cleaner.

Why even import chicken from the US? You can have chicken farms anywhere, right?
Also I dig in and found this article from 2019, so the US always wanted us to buy chlorinated chicken from them... wait a second. 2019, that was the first Trump Tenure. What's with his obsession of exporting chlorinated chicken?

You can obfuscate it so that people won't even know what they're eating, though... Wouldn't be the first, or the last time...

When Trump is hatching the eggs personally (I can't imagine why else he could be so obsessed with eggs), you need to somewhat clean and disinfect the chickens before sale...
I'm going to show myself out.

It goes further back to at least 2014. There was a failed attempt at a free trade agreement between the EU and USA called TTIP and chlorinated chicken was often mentioned in that context.

What if the deal is made and then no one in the UK actually buys it because its shit? Also isn't US food generally expensive compared to ours before sending it across the Atlantic?

Simple workaround: Stamp "not chlorinated" on the non-US stuff.
