....vote out?

A case of chlorine washed turkeys voting for Christmas But hey, we're taking back control from Europe (and giving the control back to the US!)

US farmers say chlorine-washed chicken should be part of a UK free trade deal - BBC News

So you prefer the current position where 90% of chickens are covered in Salmonella and Campylobacter then?

Remoaners getting worked up because some chicken for sale might have been washed in chlorinated water.

OMG end of the World!

FFS is this the best argument you losers have got left?

FFS, you guys really are as thick as mince - do I really have to spell it out for you? The story here is not so much about the fact the meat is a lower quality than what we have today, it's the fact that to get a 'free' trade deal with the US we will have to flood our markets with their food thus wiping out our farmers who, ironically, supported the leave vote. For the farmers, the grass will not be greener! Now do you understand, or would you like me to draw you a picture? I'll use crayons if that helps you.

Except that it's not the point you were making in your OP. So apologies for failing instantly to understand your drivel.

Now you've clarified what you're on about, it's still drivel.

HTH

Have you got a reliable source to back it up?

That's ironic, isn't it?

[WTFH]

The figure is around 50% for campylobacter and <5% for salmonella. Both are killed during cooking.

As for chlorine washing, all it does is affect the skin of the bird, any bacteria under the surface still survive. Chlorine washing is bad for the environment and the molecules are bioaccumulable (that means we can't get rid of them from our bodies once they are in there)

As for animal husbandry/animal welfare in US farming, well, the DM faithful don't care about it, as long as they get a 50p chicken.

as you know, you are what you eat

always surprises me people who are attracted to the cheapest meat

there are places to save costs and places not to save costs, dairy/meat products is a place where it's good not to buy the cheapest
