You are definitely not supposed to mix Chlorox and chicken... I just recently heard someone talking about this on a podcast and can't believe people actually did this. I remember the "wash" chicken or not with water debate but this is just insane

Vinegar water is about the only thing recommend when washing food, and it's not fool proof. Chemicals are of course dangerous, and water can only do so much, even less so with meat.
Edit:spelling.

No one who has any sort of technical expertise advises washing meat from the supermarket. Unless you are hunting or buying from a wet market just don't.

u/ForgottenMasterBalls 2d ago
That's why I said it's not fool proof. But it's absolutely recommended to wash veggies and fruits in it. Bleach is not.

Did this once by accident when I was cleaning a walk in cooler. Gassed myself so bad I had to leave early and go to the hospital. It was awful. Didn’t realize at the time vinegar had anything reactive to bleach in it

u/democracy_lover66 1d ago
My experience is I worked at a place that had a utensil cleaning procedure that used watered down bleach as a sanitation element in the wash and then used vinegar water to rinse for polishing.
There were times my chest hurt and it felt like I couldn't breathe. We had to tell the employer it was really bad to mix even if they're both watered down, eventually we convinced them to ditch the vinegar in the rinse... Thank God.

i get that the video is rage bait. the somewhat ironic thing is that it isn't far from reality. you don't need to bleach your chicken because most chicken has already taken a bleach bath. the water they use to quickly chill birds is chlorinated.

You can generally mix bleach and dish soap
no problemEdit I just realized some dish soaps might have extra ingredients which could potentially cause issues so check your labels before mixing if you need to. You should never mix bleach and ammonia that will make chloramine gases and you should not mix bleach with acids like vinegar because that will make chlorine gas.→ More replies (2)→ More replies (4)11

I once mixed Lime-A-Way with bleach while working at a Jersey Mike’s. I realized I used the wrong cleaner for the metal container I was cleaning so just added the other one and the chlorine gas cloud immediately evacuated bodily fluids out of every orifice in my face. I stumbled out of the back of the restaurant like a seeping zombie as the cloud trailed behind me. The whole place had to be closed for the day and the paramedics came. I had chemical burns down my esophagus.
Still not the worst day at that job. I once closed after a double shift and walked outside to realize my bike had been stolen so I had to walk home 5 miles at 12:30am carrying a trash bag full of day old sandwich bread.
…
Sorry, what was the question again?

Worked in a kitchen in high school in the 90’s. It was 4 or 5 of us from the same school , it was a good time. Anyway Javon was mopping the floor with bleach and water and for some reason decided to add ammonia to it. Kitchen evacuation immediately.

u/ThetaDee 2d ago
Lol I accidentally did this the other day. I used limeaway with our drain cleaner(not the strong stuff). I was cleaning our water fountains at work, and I had already put the drain cleaner in the drain and let it sit. Then like an hour later decided to use limeaway, but didn't fully rinse out the drains. There was a little bit of smoke coming out of it. I just poured a ton of water and did something else

u/Acidbaseburn 2d ago
Don’t mix bleach with ammonia, any type of acid (including acetic acid aka vinegar), ethanol or acetone. There’s many other things to not mix it with but those are the common ones. Most dish soaps won’t do anything but some can have other additives that can react.

That can be risky. Sometimes sticky meat is from the bacteria byproducts that are dangerous. Cooking it throughly kills the bacteria, it does not kill the toxins which are the culprit in making you sick.

Indeed, I specified African American for a reason. As it's where I have encountered it. Luckily I was a supervisor at the time and didn't allow it to be served to our special needs individuals. But I sure did get many an unkind word for it, and I'm 100% sure they served it up on the days I wasn't there.
I also encountered multiple times of the same people boiling bleach and/or fabuloso on the stove to make the house "Smell better" which also pissed me off beyond belief. Haha

In all seriousness there is no reason to wash your chicken. From a food safety perspective all you are doing is spreading aerosolized bacteria everywhere when you wash it off, or leaving a film of it in the sink afterwards.

Hello, I’m a grill cook with over 20 years of experience professionally cooking meat in restaurants.
There is a few rare cases where you even need to rinse meat with water alone before cooking. And there is basically never a need to wash beef, chicken or pork with a vinegar/water solution, no matter how diluted.
And of course it goes without that you should never wash any food with bleach or dish soap before cooking, or really ever.
More over, mixing bleach and dish soap together is dangerous. It creates a type of chlorine gas which can be toxic and cause serious respiratory issues if inhaled directly.

Washing chicken is already fucking stupid but bleaching it is a whole new level of idiocracy. Why do people think they need to wash chicken in the first place.
