Chicken that smells like chlorine bleach... is there any organic or local chicken that is NOT washed in bleach?

A few years ago.. similar post said ALL chicken, even organic is washed in bleach....

I am on a DETOX diet... are there any local butchers who do not wash in bleach... is it a law? Can they use SALT instead??

Does anyone know? Los Angeles County area?

    Personally I say hose it down in a 2 or 3 % chlorine solution if it's going to make it safer. But that kind of information should be readily available if you ask.

      You might try Kosher chickens. Some Trader Joe's carry the fresh Empire Kosher Brand.

        do you really smell bleach? I make it a practice to smell everything and have never noticed a bleach smell. Or is it something you read about and are worried?

        If it was something I was concerned about I'd call the companies of chicken I'd otherwise find acceptable.
        Like Smart Chicken: http://pages.smartchicken.com/Pages/cas.aspx (Vicente Foods among others
        )Rosie: (whole foods) http://www.petalumapoultry.com/component/option,com_resource/Itemid,60/article,1201/view,article
        Or Healthy Family Farms which is at some local farmers markets
