New Proposed Chicken Processing Regulations (Don't read during meals)

[Tweaked]

The Wash Post on the new proposed regulations for chicken processing, inspection, and safety currently being considered by the USDA.

The short version:

Increased line speeds.

More chemicals.

Fewer USDA inspectors.

Yum.

Yeah, it's gross. A few months ago I heard that the USDA was considering allowing Chinese chickens to enter the US food chain. Is that still in the works? I didn't realize, but they've been used in pet foods for years. Personally, I will not willingly eat a chicken from china.

There have been many pet food problems traced to those chickens from China. I would certainly hope that they are clearly labeled if they are going to used for human consumption.
