If approved by the USDA our chicken that we eat will be processed in china and could pose a major risk to our health. “China has a terrible record on health safety, and chickens are one of the things that need the most care and inspections,” said senator Charles Schumer. Food poisening from Chinnese products have been an issue in this country for years and chicken could carry harmful diseases such as e coli and salmonella. “USDA has not found China’s poultry slaughter system to be equivalent and therefore poultry slaughtered in China is not allowed to be imported to the United States,” the agency said in a statement. “The U.S. food supply is among the safest in the world, and the Food Safety and Inspection Service is dedicated to maintaining that status.”
