The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.
Critics argue chlorinated chicken stems from poorer production hygiene, with studies showing high bacteria rates in US chicken.
Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be "devastating for British farming."
I'd rather go out of my way to avoid buying anything from the US, which is exactly what I have started doing.

Probably trying to make a buck off blighted fetid fowl.
[T]he U.S. discards nearly 60 million tons—or 120 billion pounds—of food annually, amounting to about 40% of the national food supply. This equates to 325 pounds of waste per person, or the equivalent of each American throwing away 975 average-sized apples every year. Alarmingly, food waste is the largest component of municipal solid waste in landfills, making up 22% of the total. The environmental cost is staggering, with food waste generating methane emissions that significantly contribute to climate change. - forbes link from jan '25
In case anyone was wondering, signs of avian flu at the market: bloody legs; slimy, filmy meat.

British food is bad enough. Don't make them use are flavor-less chickens as well.

How is it even legal for the US to wash chicken with Chlorine ? Sounds like so ridiculous.

Imagine how fucking grand it would have been if this cunt had died from covid.
Or the shooter had sights in his rifle...

Studies have shown that washing food in chlorine doesn't actually work as US authorities think. It can put the bacteria into a survival state called VBNC, viable but non-culturable. This means labs cannot culture the bacteria to test for its presence, but it is present and can still cause illness. It hides the problem, allowing for lower safety practices in favor of productivity and profit. Here is one such study: https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/mbio.00540-18
Sounds like the american way. Hide the problem in the name of profits rather than finding a real solution.
Note: am american, and hate this mindset

Especially food related stuff. Just look at the people who consume it.

Ah, I see you had faith in America. Me too. He will most certainly escape justice. But we may yet save the Republic.
It was lost a long time ago for the lower classes and those with the least power. It’s the middle class that it’s catching up to.

That is so passé, middle class became the new poor years ago.

All you need to do to not need the chlorine wash is to not treat the animals so badly that they shit all over each other due to lack of space.
Improve their welfare improve the product, but no. Dollars come first. -
Not to mention, there's at least one member state that will obstruct anything beneficial because the current dictator benefits from the chaos.
Just tell them they won't be getting those sweet Euros from the EU, that worked every time so far.

It hides the problem
Seems to be working as intended
It hides the problem or else it gets the hose again

No, don't kill him. Let him develop Long Covid and then waste away in his own filth.
Any reason to believe he doesn't have it?

Well, at least he doesn't have the variant that shuts down all your energy and makes you unable to leave the bed.

Mentally, Donald is a toddler. Developing Long Covid and wasting away in his own filth wouldn't even jar him from his daily routine. He doesn't have the mental capacity to understand right and wrong. It's an absolute disgrace that homeless veterans freeze to death on the street while that asshat gets rushed to Walter Reed to get state-of-the-art treatment.
