Chicken Lickin?

Retailers are reportedly rushing to 'reassure' UK shoppers at supermarkets that the seizure of a consignment of Chinese antibiotics en route to a large chicken farm in Northern Ireland does not indicate that there was any risk to their health by eating flesh containing drug residues (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/23/retailers-move-to-reassure-consumers-over-chicken-safety-after-drug-seizure-northern-ireland). That is hardly the point. The antibiotic, although approved for regulated veterinary use, seemed to be possibly destined for use as a growth (and, hence, profit) promoter. Such use by farmers, in other parts of the world (it's banned under EU regulations), is one reason for the rapid development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, threatening human health by returning us to a pre-antibiotic era. It is not just the use of chlorine wash on American chicken that should put us off facilitating its importation to our shores. Nor do we need to adopt their rearing systems for chickens here.
