\\f chlorine-washed chicken is safe to eat, why has the European Union banned it?
Chlorinated chicken was banned by the European Union (EU) in 1997. Although chlorinated chicken is still banned in the EU, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has deemed chlorine-washed chicken safe. In a 2005 study, the EFSA found that treating poultry carcasses with the four most-commonly used antimicrobial substances “would be of no safety concern.”
Still, politicians in Europe treat this more of a political issue rather than an issue of science, and have voted towards protectionist measures that continue to keep US chicken out, even though its own food safety authority has deemed these products safe.
Further, chlorine isn’t used much at all anymore as an application or in chilling systems in the U.S.//
They also use Paracetic acid as well.
\\Aside from chlorine, are there other common antimicrobials used in chicken processing?
Common antimicrobial interventions when processing chickens include the use of paracetic acid (PAA), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), acidified sodium chlorite (ASC), organic acid rinses, bromine and others.
Peracetic acid, for example, is an organic compound, basically vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. It is permitted for use in poultry products labeled as “organic,” as well. Within the water at poultry processing plants, poultry is treated with PAA at concentrations that are less acidic than lemon juice and more dilute than household vinegar.
CPC is an antiseptic that kills bacteria and other microorganisms. It is commonly found in toothpaste, mouthwash and nasal sprays.//
