For this one:

4. Chlorine washes for poultry carcasses

the EU is currently looking at implementing something similar using substances such as ozone in solution or steam.



With the difference that steam is not exactly as toxic as chlorine, and even ozone is likely to be less of a problem.


Yes, but that something needs to wash the chickens due to bacteria.


I am not saying that the problem (dirty chickens) doesn’t exist, I am saying that there are likely superior solutions to that problem which don’t risk leaving an extremely toxic and reactive substance on my food.
