After washing it would pass any hygiene tests. No doubt it was to impose on the rest of the EU, the more expensive abattoir standards of Germany.


Lower levels sounds good, doesn't it?


The EU alternative is "washing" with air and water. Therefore the chlorinated wash is additional. It's ruled safe by the EU, so what exactly is their problem? Other than shutting out the US.
The only reason the US need to chlorinate their chicken is because their hygiene standards are inferior to the EU.

Agriculture in the US remains quite backward in many respects. It retains a position of resisting more information on labels to limit consumer knowledge and engagement. Its livestock sectors often suffer from poor husbandry, which leads to more prevalence of disease and a greater reliance on antibiotics. Whereas we have a “farm to fork” approach to managing disease and contamination risk throughout the supply chain through good husbandry, the US is more inclined to simply treat contamination of its meat at the end with a chlorine or similar wash.
However its irrelevant to me, enjoy !
