Summary
Donald Trump warned the UK must accept chlorinated US chicken imports if it wants relief from new 10% tariffs on British exports.
The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.
Critics argue chlorinated chicken stems from poorer production hygiene, with studies showing high bacteria rates in US chicken.
Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be “devastating for British farming.”
As an American… don’t cave. Boycott US products even if your countries give in. Otherwise we’ll never learn our lesson.
As a U.S. Citizen, PLEASE don’t buy these products. Please don’t give in.
Goddamnit, you’re right, but you know they’re feeding that shit to us too
Gosh, then will pour chlor over my chicken dish myself before serving, like some sort of crime scene cleaner.
It wont be allowed to be marked as either from the US or chlorinated if it ever does come over. The people paying Trump to push this know that if the UK public can spot it they wont buy it so any deal would mandate that it doesn’t have to be stamped.
Simple workaround: Stamp “not chlorinated” on the non-US stuff.
