[Tommy Tainant]

Looking forward to importing delicious US produced chicken.

While concerns about food safety and animal welfare dominate discussions about the perils of the modern food system, there's a downside that many might find just as troubling: the often inhumane conditions people who work in the industry face.

A new report by Oxfam America, an arm of the international anti- poverty and injustice group, alleges that poultry industry workers are "routinely denied breaks to use the bathroom" in order to optimize the speed of production. In some cases, according to the group, the reality is so oppressive that workers "urinate and defecate while standing on the line" and "wear diapers to work." In others, employees say they avoid drinking liquids for long periods and endure considerable pain in order to keep their jobs.

"...but the modern American food supply truly is a minefield of toxic threats. We are routinely exposed to chemical additives and preservatives, many of which are banned in other countries. We face constant exposure to unlabeled genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), pesticide and herbicide residues, and perhaps the biggest threat of all that you’ve probably never even heard of − mycotoxins." Does America Have the Worst Food Quality & Safety?

Mmmm...No thanks, I'll pass.

Only just. You're top in obestity rate amongst the OECD countries, and 12th in the world as a whole.

Does give an entire new meaning to "shithole country" (TM Trump), doesn't it?

Don't listen to the America bashers.

Exactly, they broke laws on food standards, standards America seems not to have.

Yes, we're not perfect either, but being in the EU or keeping EU standards means were only 8th as opposed to 1st amongst OECD countries and 33rd as opposed to 12th in the world as a whole. If we start importing American "food" our health can only deteriorate faster.

Vietnam aims to export chicken meat to the EU

Good for them, so long as their meat meets EU standards, there isn't going to be a problem. From your link, "However, he stressed that Vietnamese firms should meet all quarantine-related requirements, especially food safety regulations, origin and disease tracking rules."

Now the washing it in chlorine makes sense.
