What a pity then that we won't be able to ask the soon-to-be chlorine-washed chicken whether it'd felt safe during its short, presumably less hygienic life (why else would its corpse - in the non-archaic sense - need to be chlorine-washed?)

As the linked article goes on to say:
But Liam Fox, the international trade secretary, is in favour, pointing out that British consumers are already happy to eat salads that have been treated with chlorine. "There are no health reasons why you couldn’t eat chicken that had been washed in chlorinated water," he told the international trade select committee last year. "Most of the salads in our supermarkets are rinsed in chlorinated water and in terms of reduction of campylobacter bacteria food poisoning, the United States actually has in general much lower levels of campylobacter food poisoning than many countries in Europe."

Perhaps you should also be concerned about the standard of life the vegetables led.
