Apparently it's safe as houses to eat but critics claim that animal rearing standards are compromised.

Would you eat it?

Not a great fan of chicken anyway, but if I buy it, I buy decent stuff, not the shite own brand stuff that has only had so much free space to roam after it was butchered and killed.

Like most of our food products, meat especially, it is too cheap. But while people don't care about food standards (and farmers being ripped off by the supermarkets) it will continue to happen.

I guess the issue is it'll work it's way into food chain in other ways. If it's cheap enough then it'll pop up in other places like takeaways, ready meals etc.

Course the answer to that is don't eat takeaways etc. etc. but it's not a problem people should worry about.

If people will eat shit like mc donald's and kfc they will have no problem eating cheap chicken. Id be more wary of polish beef now the stuff that goes on there is scary. Last year cows that couldn't walk were filmed being slaughtered and sent into the EU food chain and thats just the tip of the iceberg.

The Americans also want no labelling of country of origin as part of the negotiations...if so it could end up in curries , sandwiches, etc etc and we would never know we were eating it ...if this happens I for one will be outside downing street with an inflatable chicken throwing nuggets ..

If anyone is unsure, have a read about WHY it's chlorinated. It's disgusting.

Chlorine isn't the main issue, it's why they have to do it that is the hideous part. When I lived in America I saw it first hand and I never ate chicken again while I was there.

Same with their pork that will be flooding the UK market, full of chemicals that were previously banned here.

Oh no! Have I read something from reputable journalists that doesn't align with Trump propaganda?! Let's call it fake then, instead of what it really is then - something that shows him negatively. That way we can live in denial and don't have to deal with it. It'smmuch easier than actually answering criticism.

If you have a demonstrably better source for accurate news then do let us know.

I think the figures on food poisoning speak for them selfs. The only reason the chlorinate chicken is because their pre slaughter hygiene standards are so very low very low. % of deaths from food poisoning across the US out strips most countries

I have a friend that manages food factories and set up sandwich factories in the usa...they have something they called magic dust , a food preservative. They put in their sandwiches to give them a shelf life of many weeks ...needed for the long distribution times due to size of the country...Food quality in the USA is definitely, on average lower..less regulation, lower standards etc, they argue informed consumers can make their own choices...which is obviously nonsense unless you spend a lot of time researching ..most people would never bother...

Sodium and chlorine as separate elements are nothing like salt...try drinking hydrogen...which obviously makes up most of water. It would kill you...if you didn't explode ..

I think people are missing the point a little bit here, if I may say.

Chlorine isn’t really the problem, it’s used in an appropriate way for our benefit in many situations.

The fact that it needs to be used means the chicken bodies are muckier than they should be which means the welfare levels the chickens haven’t been as high as they should.

Well actually the chlorine is there to cover up two different things....

The lower standard of food hygiene.... and the fact that in the US it is legal to feed chickens antibiotics as part of the process so they don’t lose as much stock thru illness....

The reason why the EU doesn’t allow this into the human food system is the theory that if you are eating things with antibiotics in it, when you do actually need the stuff it becomes less effective as you grow an immunity to it

I think the knowledge makes it a Brexit issue, you dont need to be an expert I think , it's widely accepted, indeed the Americans will say it, they have a different regime for controlling food standards, less regulation and a reliance on consumer information and the threat of legal action if someone is hurt etc .. to motivate them to maintain standards..

Culturally we just want something better ...I hope..

The USA despite boasting about its so called standards is far below those of the UK and EU. GM crops are grown freely and fed to animals and as food for humans with no labeling, steroids to promote muscle gain are freely allowed and along with antibiotics at higher dosages than allowed here.

The chlorination is used as a2 fold check. One most American chickens arent tested for salmonella.. and the regulations for food prep industries is far lower..so they chlorinated it to kill any surface bacteria it can pick up in dirty food prep

I posted about this in a separate thread previously, I'll just paste again:

Yep, the food deal is opening the UK up to pretty bad stuff:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/09/boris-johnson-trade-deal-us-chlorinated-chicken

(Open in incognito/private browser to avoid sign-up if prompted).

It'll be the NHS after that. Still, those claps will probably help.

To summarize that article:

The trade deal will allow substandard/dangerous food into the UK.

Our own local standards will drop to compete.

The bill will also make it illegal to label these differences on packaging.

We’re ‘compensating’ by adding tariffs to the imports.

But these will be dropped within a decade.

The trade bill is exempt from parliamentary scrutiny or voting.

The deal will likely be enforced by an offshore tribunal.

That means the UK can be sued.

Food standards are step one in this plan, the NHS is likely next.

Do you not think restaurants and takeaways could use the fact that they only use british or EU meat as a selling point? It would be quite funny for a british chicken chain to overtake kfc as it promised to only use british chicken. I think as selling point, though its by no means unique but it is certainly strong.

"Apparently it's safe as houses to eat but critics claim that animal rearing standards are compromised.

Would you eat it?

There's chlorine in drinking water. Don't see the difference to be honest? Am i missing something? Yes we all no how stringent the Eu are! We're we not getting horse meat a few years ago from France?

The difference being that the horsemeat scandal showed companies operating illegally. That's why it was a scandal. It's not that the EU doesn't have standards, it's that those standards were being broken.

But that aside, you definitely are missing something. It's a point that's been made various times in the thread. The chicken is being chlorinated because the hygiene standards in the raising of the poultry is lower. It's emblematic of the poor animal care and hygiene standards which typify US factory farming. No I can quite clearly see the agenda being set! And the tons of chlorinated salad we eat every year? "

Hahaha this must be what? The fourth time you've brought up chlorinated salad? Like a dog with a chlorinated bone!

No agenda, just pointing out the US have lower food standards than the EU

Hmm. Premade salad comes with stronger risks of contamination and food poisoning. Chlorine isn't by itself the devil, it's what's behind it.

Reducing the risks of salads that carry unacceptably high risks of food poisoning but are otherwise safe? Probably good.

Concealing the dangers of lower food and animal welfare standards? Probably bad.

Apples and oranges.

Perhaps personal choice is constrained by the regulatory environment in which our choices are found, and scientific and regulatory experts make pronouncements within the environment they find themselves? And the bigger choices around regulation and (dare I say it) public health are sometimes made for political reasons that don't align with what's in the best interest of citizens?

This isn't about political alignment. I wouldn't care who's in the Whitehouse or Downing Street here. It's about the UK actively dropping standards. Right now we don't allow this stuff in our markets.

I say again, last year a doctors group sued the US body who oversees farming standards (USDA) because that body would do nothing about faecal contamination in American meat. The USDA argued that "fecal contamination is a visible defect only". So I guess that means they encourage people to keep their eyes closed and keep eating crap! Not me thanks

We all keep coming back to the same points without listening to others. When did sterilised shit ever kill anyone? The flesh itself presents more of an issue for bacterial growth as it ages surely? If a product is safe and minimal cruelty took place in its production (I say minimal because it involves rearing an animal in unnatural conditions to kill it prematurely), however unpalatable it might sound to some, it should be an option if some ppl would like to consume it....

It's as if none of you folks drive or smoke or drink alcohol or take drugs and medicines or do anything else through personal and hard fought for choice and freedoms that could be damaging to your health....

It's a well known fact that american regulatory standards are not impartial and have been captured by special interest lobbying. Be it the USDA, FDA, EPA , FCC, or FAA.

That makes me suspicious of everything they approve of as "safe".

I work in agriculture and we are justifiably proud of the higher standards we operate too, brought about in no small part to the pressure and lobbying of consumer groups.

We feel it would be utter madness to surrender this advantage in trade negotiations. It’s not just animal welfare but traceability and accountability of how we operate and what we apply to crops and cattle in general.

Nothing good will come from lowering our standards to appease others be it America or anyone else.

I don't agree with most factory farming, whether it be chicks, cattle, pigs, lambs.

I'm not totally read up on this, but a lot of livestock is pumped with antibiotics and other stuff to boost growth. I lasted less than half a day at an abattoir, as thought the "process" was horrible. That's why I prefer to shoot. Failing that, have friends that butcher on farm also.

If you thought an abbatoir with EU standards were bad the US version is absolutely disgusting

They allow twicevas much pus,yes pus,in their milk and infected meat

Plus they allow sickeningly high amounts of rat hair,rat shit,rodent carcasses and lots of other shit

Yes.

Its meat.

If you care for animal welfare then you cant really eat meat.

If you eat meat because little chick lived his short life in an open field ,that just saves your conscience.

Results is still the same.

"Yes.

Its meat.

If you care for animal welfare then you cant really eat meat.

If you eat meat because little chick lived his short life in an open field ,that just saves your conscience.

Results is still the same.

Get slaughtered and rolled in breadcrumbs.

What about happy eggs ?

"I don't agree with most factory farming, whether it be chicks, cattle, pigs, lambs.

I'm not totally read up on this, but a lot of livestock is pumped with antibiotics and other stuff to boost growth. I lasted less than half a day at an abattoir, as thought the "process" was horrible. That's why I prefer to shoot. Failing that, have friends that butcher on farm also.

If you thought an abbatoir with EU standards were bad the US version is absolutely disgusting

They allow twicevas much pus,yes pus,in their milk and infected meat

Plus they allow sickeningly high amounts of rat hair,rat shit,rodent carcasses and lots of other shit

And thats their standards,they don't test half as much as we do so most products don't even meet those standards

"

I can only imagine, and the thought is absolutely sickening. Yes we have better standards, but I didn't like the actual process of truck loads of animals being led single file... Then you can imagine the rest.

When I have hunted or fished, I've always been mindful of what I am doing, and always thabkful for the sustenance it will give me and my family, and think this is far more humane than mass produced meat.

If I was in America, I'd probably live off elk, deer etc.

If it reduces food costs for those in need of “cheap protein” then so be it.... let’s be honest it’s not ideal but it is safe to eat.

It would be different if this was only fit for animal feed and we were asking people to eat it.

I have had no complaints about the food I’ve eaten in the US.... tbh it sounds a lot worse than it probably is.

If people are worried then just buy British.....America might not want to have their products labelled where they are from but most British products are proud to display

"If people are worried then just buy British.....America might not want to have their products labelled where they are from but most British products are proud to display "

If I was a poultry farmer I would be getting labels made up saying in big letters NOT CHLORINATED!

I probably wouldn't buy chicken from the U.S. (Or most other countries) as I dislike the idea of the environmental impact incurred transporting them plus also other countries don't have the same animal welfare standards.

Although the chlorination process doesn't really worry me as such, I'd eat American chicken in the USA with no real worries.

What are you going to do when you eat out?

School dinners?

Hospitals?

When your kids visit other kids?

As it is,you know all those are safe

Those products proudly marked British now will be eventually still proudly marked British but will be produced by big US corporate food Inc to US standards

British farmers mostly won't be able to compete

Once let in,big US corp.will buy up farms and push small UK farmers out

The dollar always wins

Some interesting thoughts.... This is, as some people like to keep reminding us a swinging site. Some on this site are already breaking the rules and meeting up and swapping body fluids with complete strangers, putting cocks and pussies in mouths and for the bareback lovers out there...

So I'm thinking, what's behind the tagline of this thread? Is it that we need to be more mindful of our health and what we put in our mouths?

I'm no fan of factory farming techniques, but some things we have no control over. What we choose to put in our mouths is very much in our control.

So where does this rat shit come into this? More tabloid scaremongering??

If US chicken is so bad how come so many people (Americans and tourists alike) haven't been taken ill?

The USA has a well funded department of Agriculture and one of the highest qualities of life. I doubt this would be possible if their food was so unhygenic?

Also, do you question where your cheap chicken currently comes from? Those supermarket meal deal sandwiches mainly contain chicken imported from Thailand. I wonder how their farming compares with a first world country's?

"Not a great fan of chicken anyway, but if I buy it, I buy decent stuff, not the shite own brand stuff that has only had so much free space to roam after it was butchered and killed.

Like most of our food products, meat especially, it is too cheap. But while people don't care about food standards (and farmers being ripped off by the supermarkets) it will continue to happen."

How much room does a chicken need to roam after it’s butchered and killed?
