What's the health impact of the chemical-washed chickens?
An excellent question. If anyone can link to some authoritative information on this, I'd be interested in reading it, too. All I got from a Google search is yoga mom blogs. I'd like to see what a .gov health agency has to say about it.

If you're fine with using vinegar elsewhere in food, you should be fine with this.

Well, it's a poverty food, and buying and eating meat seems already pretty gross to me, so people who choose to eat this kind of stuff are probably quite desperate and their choices aren't great. I'm sad for the extra animals that will end up living in even worse conditions (EU laws are a bit more generous when it comes to cage sizes etc. ) but I can totally understand that some people will genuinely prefer the US ch…
Well, it's a poverty food I'm not sure what this means. Are you trying to say that poor people shouldn't be allowed to eat?
I really hope the EU will not allow this kind of US meat into the EU market...
If they do, I hope they make sure that it has to be labelled on the food. They do that with a lot of things, and then it’s really easy not to buy it.

The issue at hand is that the EU doesn't want low quality chicken entering the market because it could cause health issues if not cleaned properly, and at the volume we produce, it's likelier than not to be done improperly at some point, at scale. It's just not worth the risk.
But, I could be missing the mark entirely. This is all from memory when I read up on EU food standards a few years ago. My memory of all of these things could be completely off here.

Does one process result in a less healthy product or not?
In other words what is the advantage of being sterile all they eat through versus ensuring sterility at the end of the process? Is one more prone to letting pathogens slip through?
