BTW import of chicken and chicken products from the UK does not meet biosecurity requirements so is not permitted into Australia.
I couldn't agree more. Chlorinated chicken is safe to eat and there are millions of people around the world eating it without any issues.
On the other hand, remember how the UK has been treated by the 27 on imports of British Beef after the BSE crisis. It was only a couple of months ago that the French removed the ban allowing UK beef imports once again. We seem to forget that in the UK we ate UK beef for years after the crisis without any problems.
As far as the EU was concerned, even though there was no scientific evidence that there is a link between BSE and CJD, we still were told to incinerate our national herd under the instruction of our chums in the EU Council. It was perfectly OK to eat in the UK though ... but there again, it was a wonderful opportunity for the EU to give our share of the beef market to France and force the UK tax payer to pay the compensation to UK farmers.
Don't you just love the EU....
