UK Minister Rejects Chlorinated US Chicken: Welfare Concerns Remain
Despite pressure from Donald Trump to allow imports of chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-treated beef as part of a trade deal, UK Treasury secretary James Murray confirmed that such products will remain illegal in the UK. This stance reflects the UK’s unwavering commitment to maintaining its existing food safety standards. These standards prohibit the sale of poultry treated with chlorine to eliminate bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. No compromises on food safety are being considered in trade negotiations.
