U.K. worries Brexit could bring 'chlorinated chicken' from U.S.

FILE - In this Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019, file photo, chickens are shipped for processing in Morton, Miss. NEW YORK -- Could Brexit bring America's "chlorinated chicken" to the United Kingdom?

Unlike in the EU, the use of antimicrobial sprays and washes is widespread in the U.S. chicken industry. Companies apply them to kill germs at various stages during processing, such as when carcasses are de-feathered, gutted or any other point when feces could splatter and spread germs like salmonella. The chemicals used in rinses have to be approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and their use is limited to specified amounts.

It's why health officials stress the need for safe handling of raw poultry, such as thoroughly cooking the meat to kill potential germs. They also warn people should not rinse raw chicken, which can spray bacteria everywhere.

After Brexit the UK can make their own rules and decisions!

Is this why they don't do any work, because they're always worrying?
