Battle over food standards is a symbol of broader conflicts between the US and Europe

Chlorinated chicken has become totemic once again in talks between the UK and the EU about their post-Brexit relationship, thanks to the EU inserting a new clause into its negotiating mandate. The clause will require the UK to maintain a ban on poultry treated with disinfectant if it wants a trade deal with its nearest neighbours.

I like Chlorinated chicken

You missed an excellent opportunity to explain exactly WHY the US has to wash its chicken meat in chemicals. Instead you used 3 or 4 words. Go there, have a look and report on the WHY this happens. That would be much better journalism.

It's disgusting you even eat chicken. When do umans start connecting the dots about animal agriculture, the environment, AND EVEN HUMAN HEALTH Long live the coronavirus.

Felicity Lawrence writes for the G says it all. A paper read by so few, that it has to produce this bullshit to try and be read. Well let me tell you something. The dead Caracas of a chicken is washed thoroughly in chlorinated water. You might know it by the description as Tap.

We will.Have a trade deal with the U.S. before.we have one with the EU. Probably by November so Trump can hail it as another major achievement going into the election. Their inability to do a deal in under a year highlights everything that is wrong with it. Byzantine bureaucracy.

EAT MORE BEEF

Not a chance I will eat this as it's the rearing and treatment of the birds which makes it an instant no for me. Food standards in the USA are less rigorous and if they want more consumer trade their standards must go up, and the UK's must not come down to 'level' the pitch

Of course, in my personal view, we should NOT be eating chicken at all, chlorinated or not. Here's one of my girls. But probably this i just me.

Boris Johnson urged to avoid post-Brexit red tape as UK draws trade battle linesSenior ministers expected to sign off on the UK’s negotiating blueprint on Tuesday How? Leaving the EU means there will be more red tape, unless we stay aligned as in the Single Market and able to trade as if in a Customs Union. The best solution would be a license to export/import issued after an initial inspection by a professional. Later spot inspections could be done remotely with a body cam by a worker onsite via internet to keep costs down. License fee split by company & state to cover costs. All part of Leaving. You knew what you were voting for, eh?
