Do you wash the meat/ minced meat before cooking?

I saw some cooking straight from the packet

Nope, unless you eat your meat raw there is no need, the temperature you cook meat at is high enough to kill anything but gone off meat and is far higher than the temperature of the water you are washing it with.

That said I'm in the UK and we don't have things like chlorinated chicken...
