Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
My understanding is that the chlorine thing is perfectly safe but that the reason for it's existance in America is lower handling and raising standards generally whereas chicken is still perfectly safe here and within the EU due to other regulations.
So as long as those farming standards continue to be met then I don't see the problem. That said instinctively I would likely steer away from chlorine washing chicken because it sounds weird. In the same way I tend to avoid meat packed in plastic prefering to eat less of it but buy it from a butcher when I do. Mass produced meat just feels instinctively bad.
