"An international fast-food chain whose cheeseburger is used as an example of how chlorinated chicken and other treated meats can enter large-scale supply chains. Such products are most likely to appear in food processing plants, meal-production factories and institutional catering rather than direct supermarket retail, and the main issue raised is not the chlorine per se but the crowded, disease-prone slaughter and processing conditions that necessitate disinfectant treatments. Those conditions are tied to animal welfare abuses, poor worker safety and environmental harm, so critics argue the primary harms fall on animals and workers rather than end consumers." - James Hansen
