Do you have a valid source for that claim?

To expand on this example, people worry about the bleach when they hear this but it's not used at dangerous levels as I remember it.

The issue is the meat is so disgusting in the first place it needs to be washed to not kill off its consumers. We don't wash meat in Europe, because we have standards

To go even further, in Japan they have a breed of chicken so clean that it's eaten as sushi. Here in the US, undercooked chicken or unwashed eggs are a salmonella risk - as is pretty much any other food due to contamination. There was a massive recall on lettuce a few years ago across the country for salmonella contamination.
