I get you. That was the first non-AI article in Google so I cited it. But the second is NPR, which does talk about how less than 5% of US chicken is even treated in this manner
And says, "European authorities have analyzed the use of the chemical washes and found they don't pose a risk to human health at the concentrations used in poultry processing."
Yeah but reading it this is specifically about whether the washes increase microbial resistance.
The debate is about whether the washes cover for lower standards of production and if that has side effects.
I fear we might be getting a little into the weeds. I feel like the original statement was (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that the US has an inferior food grade
I won't say we are perfect. We produce a lot of food for a lot of people and we try to get as close to cutting corners as we can
