10 Year Poultry Row Could be Extinguished

According to the Farmers Guardian, top of the agenda is the EU’s import ban on US chicken, put in place in 1997 because US producers use a low-concentration chlorine wash on chickens - a practice not permitted in the EU.

The magazine says that the US poultry industry claims the ban is unjustified, and has repeatedly called on the EU to review the evidence and reconsider the ban.

Despite a number of studies into the safety of US chicken, the EU is yet to find conclusive proof that the practice has adverse effects on human health.
