Trust the government and Boris to lie ToryLiars

Difficult to know if you remove all labelling stating what it is and country of origin in line with the USA trade requirements 🤔so you are either lying or obfuscating how people will be able to tell

Why’s the big deal of you have visited America you probably ate chicken while you was there ? I do love their food

Follow the money. Mmmm swimming pool fresh!

With a direction of wages in the UK being towards minimum wage for everyone then where lies the choice particularly for: school, care home and hospital meals! Alas, given the impact of COVID19 on employment and the progress in Brexit negotiations many may have no choice at all!

Why do we need to import chicken at all?

This is totally wrong on every level.

This story is supposed to be covert intelligence about the case related to PC Dudley. The uk police force all raped her. Loads of them. So did the BBC and the NHS, and the Government. It's not worth it mate.

What about the heath of the animals? Is this produced ethically? It is chlorinated because the space the chickens have is unacceptable.

What about f it is in processed food, KFC and not labelled?

Just like we trust politicians not to lie to us and then sell us down the river?

No way. We choose British produce. Free range chickens from our farm.

Another u turn

Not tasted chlorinated chicken. If it tastes chlorinated, it won't last long in restaurants or on supermarket shelves. I think the British public will be 'picky' on such tastes. I want my chicken to taste like, well, chicken, and not the swimming baths.

The US delegation refused proper labeling of products when TTIP was still a thing. Good luck.

Don’t people realise chlorinated water flows from their taps every day?

‘Let them eat Chlorinated Chicken.’

I've already read that the chicken won't have to be labelled. Why hasn't the Minister learned this?

This is pretty much what Marie Antoinette said when she told the peasants who were asking for bread, 'let them eat cake'

No. It isn't wanted, so don't bother trying.

Absolutely not... Once chlorinated chicken is in our food chain, then in comes the food labelling changes, so we won't know which is which. 🤬

What, did the government lie then?

Exactly this. Even if the FTA rules prohibit country of origin labelling, they can’t stop them labelling chicken that WASN’T washed in chlorine.

Obvious Trump has U.K. Gov by short & curlies coz of Brexit! Shld he lose next elections, how will new president feel about this U.K. Gov?

The problem, however, is our complete mistrust in the SelfServative Party.

You’re asking the same people who voted to call a boat Boaty McBoatface and for Brexit to trust them on to buy chlorinated chicken or not 🤦‍♂️

If US food is labelled...

Weren’t we told the govt wouldn’t lower our standards Just another lie

Referendum....

You can’t trust us not to buy halal chicken but you want to ban chlorinated ? Are you banning salad and vegetables too

Well, it will certainly mean that they can buy all UK chickens since the EU will put VERY strict checks on incoming ones (including towards NI from the UK).

What they don't tell you could kill you...

I’d rather not 🥴

I like my chicken like I like my women - dechlorinated and boned. Am I right guys

Is there anything else in the trade deal apart from chicken.

You fackin' loons! How can we choose if we don't have the information? The US made it clear they have issues with food labelling...

That only works if the deal allows country of origin to be on the label. Some are suggesting it might not be allowed.

How would people know? Would it be marked?
