UK set to allow American chlorinated chicken, hormone-fed beef into supermarkets in U.S. trade deal
by Ben Reilly Fri Jun 05, 2020 12:43 am
The government is set to open British markets to food produced to lower US welfare standards as part of its planned trade deal with Donald Trump.
Downing Street on Thursday refused to stand by an earlier pledge to keep so-called “chlorinated chicken” off UK shelves, in the first sign of the government folding under pressure from American trade negotiators.
Ministers are reportedly considering letting in products like chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef into British supermarkets, but applying tariffs to them to protect UK-based farmers from competition.

Have to admit, I thought this would probably happen ever since the idea first surfaced a while back. I just didn't see BoJo saying no to Trump.
At least it will be tarriffed, and most likely labeled to help British consumers avoid it if they don't want it.

They'll back peddle on every single promise, as they already have on the checks on everything going to and from Northern Ireland.
They lied and lied and lied. And their jingoist fanbase lapped it up. There'll never be any admission of being taken for idiots though.

I don’t tend to throw food in and make a yummy soup though.

Food standards here must be maintained... We should not let in any food that does not comply to our standards.
