THE LITERATURE IS THIN in the subject of chicken carcass chlorine byproducts. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This summary of the literature is industry biased. http://lnkd.in/dVnrNZE View in LinkedIn

CHLORINE PLUS ORGANIC MATERIALS leads to hundreds of very toxic chlorination byproducts. The debate about chicken chlorination is threefold. Good practices. The safety and acceptability of chlorine in food. And toxic chlorine byproducts. View in LinkedIn

STIFLED DEBATE ABOUT CHICKEN CHLORINATION. "Until 2008, the European Union also banned chlorinated poultry. Greenpeace condemned the procedural maneuver that removed public debate on the issue." While procedural secrecy is hotly debated today, with closed door industry meetings dominating, the ban is still in force. http://lnkd.in/dF6xJxQ View in LinkedIn

TIT FOR TAT. "The United States retaliated against the EU poultry ban on April 30, 1997 by delisting European poultry producers. This action prohibits the importation of any poultry or poultry product from the EU into the US. The EU contests the US action because the delisting occurred without appropriate evaluation inspections." http://www1.american.edu/ted/chicken.htm View in LinkedIn

CULTURE CRUNCH. "The EU considers this decontamination process to be a poor standard of sanitary measure. The US strongly believes that the use of anti-microbial treatments are a safe and effective way to reduce pathogens and food borne diseases that can cause serious health problems." http://www1.american.edu/ted/chicken.htm View in LinkedIn

COLLISION OF CULTURES. "The EU requires high standards of cleanliness at all stages of poultry production, while the US utilizes chlorinated solution as a decontaminant at the end of the production process." http://www1.american.edu/ted/chicken.htm View in LinkedIn

"CONTROVERSY OVER MEAT INSPECTION systems is not a new phenomena between Europe and the United States ...1985 when the EU ... prohibited the sale of US pork, beef, and poultry in Europe if US plants were not certified ... resulted in more than 400 US meat producers being banned from exporting to the European Union." http://www1.american.edu/ted/chicken.htm View in LinkedIn

US CHLORINE WASHES OF MEAT AND POULTRY. Everything about how your meat is processed in a slaughterhouse. "Products that have been excessively contaminated ... pose a health hazard ... superior sanitary control results in products that are cleaner, more healthful, look better, have a longer shelf life, and greater selling potential." http://lnkd.in/d-NKKj2 View in LinkedIn

RUSSIAN CHLORINATED POULTRY BAN. "Russia, the top importer of US poultry, produces only half of its chicken consumption. It banned chlorinated chickens on January 1, but recently reopened its doors to 70 US companies in line with a chlorine-free agreement between Presidents Obama and Medvedev in late June." http://lnkd.in/dF6xJxQ View in LinkedIn

RUSSIA BANS US CHLORINATED CHICKENS. "As the world’s largest producer of poultry and second largest exporter, the US continues to hammer Russia about its embargo of chlorinated chickens." For sure an issue caught in the middle of a political disagreement, but not without merit. http://lnkd.in/dF6xJxQ View in LinkedIn
