"The vast majority of chicken processed in the United States is not chilled in chlorine and hasn't been for quite a few years [...] so that's not the issue."
Less than 5% of poultry processing facilities still use chlorine in rinses and sprays, [...] Those that still do use a highly diluted solution at concentrations deemed safe.
The author should survey a few Europeans to check if they'd be happy to eat chlorinated chicken 5% of the time and 'at concentrations deemed safe'. Also the author should let
me place a wager on the outcome.
Do I understand that correctly: in the US the approach is to mitigate the impact of eating poultry that was sick during it's lifetime, while the EU tries to prioritize preventing the animals becoming sick?
This is an odd passage:
The author should survey a few Europeans to check if they'd be happy to eat chlorinated chicken 5% of the time and 'at concentrations deemed safe'. Also the author should let me place a wager on the outcome.
