Something to do some further research on……
Did you know that your chicken ( if buying from the average grocery food store) is processed using a chlorine wash? Ummm yes, I said CHLORINE as in CHLORINE BLEACH! You heard right. Specifically Chlorine Dioxide.
***Update….definition of what Chlorine Dioxide is ( this is the chemical used to wash poultry during processing)
Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula ClO2. This yellowish-green gas crystallizes as bright orange crystals at −59 °C. As one of several oxides of chlorine, it is a potent and useful oxidizing agent used in water treatment and in bleaching.[2]
The USDA regulates that chicken can be washed in a chlorine bath while processing to kill any diseases. The “chill water” has the Chlorine in it.
How do we avoid this? That is assuming you want to! 
Well the idea behind Organic or Free range meats and poutry is to raise them healthier in the first place, so that they do not need the chlorine wash. That does not mean the poultry will not be washed in chlorine at all, but maybe a very diluted chlorine. I plan to do some more checking, as you are encouraged to….I don’t know about you but I do not relish the idea of my chicken being dumped into a chlorine bath before I eat it! I mean….we are attempting to get chemicals out of our house and bodies…..why would we want to eat poultry dipped into one of the very things we try to eliminate from our personal environment?
You can go to this website here to see what the regulations are for Organic meats/poultry. And decide for yourself what you need to do to help keep you and/or your family chemical free!
