Chemical’ chickens heading for the EU

 

Imports of American-farmed “chlorinated chicken” would go on sale in Europe under new proposals from Brussels (Valerie Elliott writes).

 

The potential introduction of the birds, which are washed in chemicals to remove food-poisoning bugs, has provoked outrage among food campaigners, farmers and consumer groups in Britain.

 

Lord Rooker, Food and Farming Minister, said: “I would not touch chlorinated chicken with a barge pole. It needs to be labelled as chlorinated chicken.”

 

The row flared up after discussions over ending the ten-year ban on American poultry imports, imposed because of the chlorine wash.
