What brand of chicken is not washed in chlorine?
What brand of chicken is not washed in chlorine? Bell & Evans explicitly says its 100% air-chilled process uses no chlorinated water bath.
Perdue Farms says chlorine is used only for equipment or tooling and describes other USDA-approved solutions in its processing water. Read those statements at their stated scope. A claim about the chilling bath is not a promise of no antimicrobial treatment at every stage. Perdue’s statement also does not identify its other solutions. If your preference is to avoid a chlorinated bath, an explicit producer disclosure is more useful than a vague natural claim. If you want to avoid PAA or other treatments too, the evidence must address those separately.
These are attributed producer statements. Neither statement is a laboratory finding about residues on your purchase.

No. PAA and chlorine are different substances. Avoiding one treatment does not establish that all others were avoided.
Does Perdue say chlorine is used on its chicken?
Its reviewed FAQ says chlorine is only for cleaning or sanitizing equipment and tooling. It describes other approved solutions without identifying them.
