The chlorinated chicken you describe doesn't pass EU regulations, it's not sold in the EU. Other EU regulations also give some projections to farm workers, including migrants in the UK.

Welcome back Wayne
Again you have it wrong. There is nothing wrong with chlorinated chicken and the EU know it. What the EU has done is look at the American process and decided that the issue is with the early stages of the process and that chlorination resolves potential issues that may have existed within that process. The EU fully understands that Chlorinated chicken is perfectly safe, but it is yet another sneaky way of banning imports from the USA and other countries...

Chorine is an effective and pretty safe way of removing pathogens from food.
The issue is why they have to wash the chicken in chorine (because of the far worse standards of animal welfare).
You've become a parody Pete.

Not strictly true. It’s more about the welfare issues that it masks.
Here you go. This is ardant brexiteer and Tory, George Eustice telling you how it is:
The UK can’t accept backward US food standards – or chlorinated chicken | George Eustice
Unless US agriculture meets British standards, it can join the back of the queue, writes former agriculture minister George Eustice
I think it's more due to the conditions by which the products are produced in. Chlorine being effectively a catch all for poor meat processing conditions.
Bruce was talking about the backstop that was rejected by parliament.
That Backstop was proposed by the UK
You're wrong.
Does Will Self not know that Francois' granddad's dog fought in the RAF?
watched that earlier, bloody embarrassing , that will Self is one right smart arse.
Smart arse vs bombastic idiot. Lovely attempt to feign offence by deliberately misinterpreting (you'd hope) the words.
Reminded me of Peter Bone doing the same with Tusk's remark.

Like most, I am pretty much rinsed with all this. But does that mean that the backstop logjam could have an end game after all?
Self is irritating but he's 100% right. I've said the same thing on here myself - not everyone who voted for Brexit is a racist, but pretty much all racists would have voted for Brexit.
I don't think you're a racist Joey, but all the same you must see that a sizeable amount of Brexit voters did it on xenophobic grounds? UKIP gained the popularity it did for a reason.
So I do believe racists and xenophobes voted for Brexit - but that doesn't mean I'm calling you a racist. People voted for many reasons; all I'm saying is that it should be acknowledged that these reasons were some of those reasons, and a fairly large part in my view.
It's just common sense.
The “Gammon” debate
The Gammon movement is brilliant because it angers so many of the Gammons. Nowhere near as good as the snowflakes though.....
