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.”
It wont be allowed to be marked as either from the US or chlorinated if it ever does come over. The people paying Trump to push this know that if the UK public can spot it they wont buy it so any deal would mandate that it doesn’t have to be stamped.
Simple workaround: Stamp “not chlorinated” on the non-US stuff.
If you can’t spot it by looking at it, you can definitely spot it by eating it. You don’t even need to tell people to boycott this stuff, people are able to read brand names and won’t rebuy brands that taste rubbish anyway.
If that is true, please explain why all the chicken for sale in my country has gone to shit and good quality meat can’t be found anymore.
Regulations matter. Hold on to them.
