Poor quality Chicken

ifellover · 2011-12-22 19:37:25

I've always been buying Tesco's 3 chicken fillets for around €5.79 in a packet. The chicken always seems to be jelly like in quality. Can this be detrimental to one's health?

This shows it is in frozen whole chickens. I see no reason why it could not be done to a fresh whole chicken, unless its the law. Lots of people soak whole turkeys to add moisture to them.

Supermarket poultry

Added water: Up to 37 per cent. The EC limit for added water in a frozen, whole chicken is seven per cent, but nearly a third of samples contained more than that in an FSA survey. Chicken breast and thigh portions contained water levels from two to 37 per cent, with frozen portions being the worst offenders. In more than 10 per cent of the breast-and-thigh samples, the added water was not listed anywhere on the packaging

What would you call a big thick breast? the ones I mentioned I cut off the dunnes chicken were 350g each. I have heard in australia massive chicken breasts are the norm.
