The UK has long-ruled out allowing imports of chlorine-washed chicken from the US, with Rachel Reeves in November reiterating her opposition

Summary

Donald Trump warned the UK must accept chlorinated US chicken imports if it wants relief from new 10% tariffs on British exports.

The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.

Critics argue chlorinated chicken stems from poorer production hygiene, with studies showing high bacteria rates in US chicken.

Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be “devastating for British farming.”

      Especially food related stuff. Just look at the people who consume it.
