A post-digestion treatment method for cellulosic pulps which reduces the generation of dioxins and other chlorinated organics in the pulp, treatment effluent and/or the paper product produced from the pulp. In the treatment, the pulp, following digestion, is washed with a liquid that is essentially free of dioxins or dioxin precursors and simultaneously adjusted in consistency to at least a medium, and preferably a high consistency. Thereafter, the pulp is contacted with a chlorination agent selected from the group consisting of gaseous chlorine dioxide, gaseous chlorine, and gaseous chlorine dioxide which contains a minor amount of gaseous chlorine.
