So...
First of all you chose to ignore the top part of the response. which equates to the following
European FSA says they have “no safety concerns” with the chlorination of chicken.
However they also say that this practice might not be sufficient for maintaining good hygiene standards throughout the slaughter process.
Secondly you're absolutely right, no one will force you to buy it, providing their is enough information provided to the consumer to make that choice.
It's the same with hormone injected beef (again currently banned by the EU) If it is agreed to then so long as consumers are presented with
clear information regarding source and content then it's on the consumer to decide.
My concern is that consumers won't have the information readily provided in a clear format they need given to them in order for them to be able to make an informed decision.
It's not as though manufacturers have ever tried to hide things from the consumer before is it....
