I haven't said much on the "chlorine-washed chicken" debate yet, but isn't it obvious that, provided food & other products meet our safety & quality standards once here, we shld be willing to accept US imports made to US production standards? How's it our business how it's made?

Because we enforce welfare standards on farmers here, which adds much cost. What’s the point of then just importing food not produced to those standards?...

Because how the US does it is its business. We don't only import from countries with the same minimum wage as us, do we?

I think the idea UK animal welfare standards are second to none is generous to say the least. Both countries use high intensity rearing with obvious signs distress seen in the meat sold ie white striping. All for better welfare but lack of it can't be hidden behind a flag.

Where in the UK is high density cattle fattening used? Why don’t we need to chlorine wash chicken? You up for lowering standards here, to compete? I’m up for that if you are?....

Chicken, not cattle. We choose not to. Rates of campylobacter infections are higher in UK and Europe than in America. In parts of the EU they are very high.

Hence the term "white striping" seen in poultry meat.
