Eating food is now a lottery in the US. The EU and UK abhor the idea of needing to wash chickens in bleach. Standards are ready so poor that this isn’t sufficient to keep people safe.
[Edited, managed to type “for lunch” instead of “in bleach”. One handed typing on train excuse]
I assume they are referencing the US practice of washimg chicked carcases in chlorine.
The EU claims that allowing that type of washing makes producers less incetiviced to avoid bacterial contamination elsewhere in the production chain and therefore more likely to expose customer to disease. US companies treat the animals like shit, and treat the meat like shit and then argue that washing the carcases in chlorine solves it and makes it a more competetive product that they really want to sell on the EU market.
The US market only ever optimise for cost. So they get shitty products. Since they have lots of monopoly going on, they get shitty and expensive combo. Other markets try to make ‘good products’ competetive and regulate markets, so the products available will be good and reasonably priced.
Allowing sub standard US products on the market will make for more expensive and more dangerous products.
Yes, thank you. Reference the need for washing chickens in bleach. My silly typing without checking. Most of the rest of the world use quality assurance rather than forgetting about standards and relying upon the nuclear option to make terribly prepared poultry slightly safer.

My typo, corrected now. One-handed typing on a train does not always work well.
