It was agreed that the U.K. would \u201cshare their public lines on chlorine-washed chicken to help inform the media narrative around the issue.\u201d A U.S. official noted that the U.K. had used chemical washes in the past and \u201cwondered if there would be an interest in bringing them back post-EU Exit.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nOverall, the U.S. made clear it would be watching the U.K. negotiations on a trade deal with the EU closely, especially when it comes to signing up to regulations imposed by Brussels.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBCs \u201cToday\u201d program this morning that Britain will ditch EU standards after Brexit \u2014 but only to make them \u201cstronger.\u201d The Conservative Party manifesto insists the U.K. \u201cwill not compromise our high food standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. also suggested the U.K. could water down its standards on food labeling, which compel manufacturers to be clear about whether products are high in sugar or fat. The documents note U.S. concern that \u201clabelling food with high sugar content (as has been done with tobacco) is not particularly useful in changing consumer behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On tech, U.S. officials did not raise the issue of the U.K. governments tax on digital services.
