The European Commission has proposed accepting poultry treated with anti-bacterial chemicals, which could reopen the EU market to US poultry.
The Commission set out strict conditions for the chemical treatment, and the plan must still be considered by experts from the EU member states.
US chicken has been banned from sale in the EU for 11 years because a chlorine rinse is used on the meat in the US.
The Commission has set out treatment and labelling procedures for poultry.

greg1usa, I like this story. It's good stuff.
However we don't eat chlorine rinsed chicken to cover E-coli infections, that happened before. Chlorine penetrates skin, is dangerous for your health as growth hormons in american meat continue to grow in your body.
