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.”
You can obfuscate it so that people won’t even know what they’re eating, though… Wouldn’t be the first, or the last time… All you need to do is get the meat into the country, then throw it in the shredder and process it until it is unrecognisable.
Edit: or not even that, just slap whatever label you want on it. It’s not like the average consumer will do a chem test on every cut of meat they purchase.
They will do a taste test though, when they eat it. Then they’ll swear to never buy that crappy brand again.
And all that’s left is to hope that alternatives will still be available.
