The chlorine is, of course, entirely harmless, otherwise the EU wouldn't permit its use in bagged salads which aren't even going to be cooked. At the risk of straying into bad OMNI, the ban on chlorine washing of chicken was an entirely political move to protect the (principally French) poultry industry.
