There is a debate to be had here and as I don't know the science I have an open mind. Apparently chlorine wash is used on fruit and vegetables and no one seems concerned about that. Then look at the EU's reason for opposing chlorine washed chicken. "The EU argues that chlorine washes could increase the risk of bacterial-based diseases such as salmonella on the grounds that dirty abattoirs with sloppy standards would rely on it as a decontaminant rather than making sure their basic hygiene protocols were up to scratch." So the EU is not saying its bad but that it might lead to sloppy hygiene standards well isn't that an issue with regular safety inspections? I think there is an element of protectionism from the EU but I also think that some practices of US farmers need to improve. If its safe then as long as it is properly labelled let the consumer choose.

Yep he's right of course. The Americans are so litigious there would be law suits stretching around the corner if there were major health concerns.

Salmonella rates are higher in the EU than the US. In some EU "member states" SIX times higher. It's purely protectionism from the EU, wrapped up in the guise of "safety". As you rightly say, the Remainiacs appear entirely fine with eating chlorine-washed salad. The US (and indeed South American nations) export meat and agricultural produce extensively across the world. There, frankly, is no better beef than Argentine IMO. But that would be bad, because the EU needs it's own little insular fortress for the sake of it's own relevance. Keep the prices up, protect those farmers, to hell with the consumers, and freedom of choice. We used to be the envy of the world for standards. Indeed, many countries still use British Building standards that we've had to abandon for inferior EU equivalents (because very often, it's not a case of gold-plating the standards you already have, but needing to bow down in front of the Brussels Eurocracy). The whole political experiment is a disgrace, and I hope it destroys itself soon, as all empires eventually do.

Just so we're clear, you know more than the Government, DEFRA and the Prime Minister on this subject? Secondly, the EU would concoct a story, fabricate scientific evidence and lie about US Food products? I think you have a very vivid imagination Also, You would allow a trade deal and flood the UK with all these US products putting UK jobs at risk? Edited by Pussay Patrol (02 Mar 2019 6.30pm)

Someone doth protest too much. If the US agri-producers do not chlorine wash chicken etc., why worry about such regulations. Surely a win-win for the US and the UK. then again agri-law in the UK will be skewed towards the large producer rather than the consumer based on Gove's interview last week.

I think that the concept of personal loss and sacrifice is one that you just don't understand. If it wasn't for people willing to suffer personal loss and sacrifice 80 years ago we would all now be speaking German and I'm guessing that if Germany were to try and take Europe by force again you would do nothing to stop it as there would be no financial gain in it for you So you're happy 33m of taxpayers money was used in this way?

Perhaps he can actually read what articles say rather than what he wishes they said like the Remain Group's chief disseminator of fake news on HOL does. Nowhere in the article that you linked to does it say that chlorinating chicken is a health risk or would lower our food standards in any way. You express surprise that someone would "allow a trade deal and flood the UK with all these US products putting UK jobs at risk?" yet seem quite happy for the EU to flood the UK market with products that put UK jobs at risk
