Is there any evidence that US meat products are less safe than UK products?
Instead, the EU says the best way to eliminate the risk of salmonella and other bacteria is to maintain high farming and production standards.
There is evidence that chlorine kills more bacteria on chicken than plain water does - but some studies have suggested it does not kill all bacteria. Across the UK in 2017, there were 63,946 confirmed cases of infection from campylobacter and 10,089 infections from salmonella, equating to 0.1% and 0.02% of the population respectively. Those figures are the actual number of confirmed reports around the UK, not estimates.
