It is NOT automatically necessary. Even if it was, it is the end result that matters. If the end result is LESS bugs to multiply, then that is better, isn't it?
The rest of the world doesn't seem to have much of an issue with US chicken, as the US is a major exporter.
In the past the UK has had stricter rules on products. Eg We had stricter rules on UHT milk, and banned UHT milk from France. The EU said we had to accept what to us was sub-standard produce. The EU is about being a cartel, not about raising standards.
