A new trade deal with Gulf states might allow chicken that doesn't meet UK standards. UK farmers are worried it could affect their work.

The deal with the Gulf Cooperation Council is worth £1.6 billion. It might allow chicken imports that don't follow UK welfare rules.
In the UK, chickens have 750cm² and special areas. In Gulf countries, they have 300cm² and often stay indoors.
The UK government promised to keep animal welfare and food safety standards high. Farmers want them to keep this promise and not allow unsafe chicken.
