That's an even stronger argument against allowing US chicken to be imported.

Could be, but I think it's mainly an argument against US eggs to be imported, not the meat, which is the discussion here. I've never heard of someone getting salmonella from chicken meat because it's not normally eaten raw.

Although personally I think the US should have mandatory salmonella immunization (currently about half of egg laying chickens are immunized).

"Salmonella from raw chicken has made 92 people sick across 29 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday."

I stand corrected.

Maybe the trade agreement should be modified to require only immunized chickens to be exported to the UK.
