Compraci pollo lavata con cloro se vuoi tariffe più basse, ha detto la Gran Bretagna

>The US president has called for the concession after imposing a 10pc levy on goods from the UK to America, claiming that the UK’s restrictions on chlorine-washed poultry and hormone-treated beef were flawed.

>After announcing a barrage of sweeping global tariffs on Wednesday, the White House released a statement saying: “The UK maintains non-science-based standards that severely restrict US exports of safe, high-quality beef and poultry products.”

my brother in christ, you just completely mismanaged a bird flu outbreak and your health guy is a brainwormed antivaxxer 😀

>The US argues that washing meat in chemicals reduces the risk from pathogens such as salmonella, while Europeans more typically say higher hygiene standards throughout the meat processing are preferable to cleaning up cuts with a chlorine rinse.

lol 😀 I’m sure this excuse still works on someone, probably the orthodox brexiteers that were making excuses for American meat for a long time, but the issue is not the chlorine, but rather the reason they need to chlorinate them in the first place lol 😀

The chickens are so unhealthy and fucked up due to US having no health and safety standards that they have to chlorinate the meat to avoid mass food poisoning in human population. European chickens don’t need this, probably not even those kept in the most questionable conditions and the most questionable meat productions in Europe.

So now ask yourselves again if you really need American meat production and if you’re willing to risk it over a false promise of some lower tariffs. Spoiler alert: >!UK won’t get any lower tariffs or any other benefits from opening doors to American meat or any other “deals” from the artist of the deal!<

Telling the US population that we don’t buy American meat because of tariffs, when the truth is that EU doesn’t count it as edible for humans.

But, UK, you got Brexit, so you’re free to import whatever you want.

I rather would eat cold s**t

A [study published in the UK in 2014, external](https://old.food.gov.uk/science/research/foodborneillness/b14programme/b14projlist/fs231043ext#.U7QDzSg0o0w) commissioned by the government estimated that there were about 34,000 cases of salmonella from food per year or about **55 per 100,000 people**, based on 2009 data.

A [US study published in 2011, external](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/17/1/p1-1101_article) – and using data from 2002-2008 – estimated that there were just over a million cases of salmonella each year – a rate of about **350 per 100,000 people**.

Even if Britain did, no Brits would buy it, what’s the point?

The issue isn’t chlorine washed chicken, it is the methods of agriculture prior to that.

Europe prefer to keep the safety element from start to finish, the US prefer to wash it at the end with less stringent safety prior (and to some expect animal welfare).

I’m ok with chlorin washed at the end, if the other steps at the beginning are also followed.

Huh.

So the mouth-breathing GB-News gits kept telling us we were scaremongering about being forced to accept Chlorine washed chicken and hormone stuffed beef. That it would never happen.

Yet here we have the President insisting that we do.

Hard pass.

We can’t make things harder for our farmers, if there’s ever a ww3 and we won’t be able to get food.

Also Maga dipshits: Let’s dunk our meat in chlorine.

I fucking can’t.

Ah now they suddenly care about science?
