- Chlorinated Chicken refers to Chicken carcasses washed in a chlorine dioxide solution to eliminate harmful bacteria.
- While large amounts of chlorate (a byproduct) could pose health risks, studies suggest chlorinated Chicken itself is unlikely to cause immediate harm.
- Critics argue that chlorine washing masks poor hygiene practices in earlier production stages, while proponents maintain it ensures food safety.
