This reckless use of chemicals is not just a risk because of the exposure to the chlorine by poultry workers and consumers; the use of these chemicals is done as an end-of-production “solution” to having bad hygiene and engaging in inhumane practices regarding their chickens during rearing and slaughter. It would be safer and more efficient for poultry facilities to fight bacteria at each stage of animal farming, rather than attempting to douse the already-infected animal in chemicals.
