U.K./U.S. Trade deals.

By all means sign up to chlorinated chicken, but under the proviso that it is visibly labelled as such so that the UK public can decide whether to purchase it.

They also want to reduce labelling requirements as well.

Canada and Australia are among the other countries that chlorinate chicken, Canada chlorinates beef as well. It happens in many other countries as a cheap and effective way of preventing salmonella among other things. Chlorine levels can vary, in most countries the chlorine levels are about the same as in tap water.
The EU are on record as stating they have no safety concerns re chlorinated chicken, the reason they have banned US chicken is over animal welfare concerns, the number of chickens kept in cages etc, overcrowding etc which can lead to less sanitary conditions, chlorinating resolves the sanitary concerns, the viewpoint of the EU is that if the birds are in less crowded conditions, chlorinating is not required, although salmonella is on the increase in Europe.

What's the point in leaving the EU then?

Trouble with Frankenfood is it's mostly designed to take more weedkiller or insecticide and developed by the people who sell the stuff. Just what we need when the latest greatest weedkiller is detectable in breast milk and body fat. It's not the first time they have found that going on with others, They even use it now when it's not needed for the usual reason but still gives a better yield.

Given time they will come up with plants we are supposed to eat that kill insects when they eat them.

What's yer point

If you wish to add yourself to the doom brigade..

You are the doom brigade

this country was doing fine being part of Europe, but no, you were so negative about this country you decided to vote to make the UK poorer

Told by who.....you?.........JohnD?......YAWN

ha ha

its been well publicised over the last few years.

brexit means the UK loses its current worldwide trade deals and ends up on its own as a country of £3b amongst economic superpowers of £16b plus like USA, EU and China.
brexit means losing control, not taking it back

if you voted for Johnson, then you voted for this country to be a weak trading partner with the USA. Being part of the EU gave the UK power to strike good deals around the world -we pooled sovereignty, now we simply lose it.
