    Well… Not really in Denmark. At least not salt water.

    Packaging on chicken often has it written on the from if there is any water inside, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s not allowed to exceed a certain percentage.

    There may be reasons why people might specifically want to buy chicken with water inside, so some supermarkets here sell both, one that has an statement on the amount of water inside, and another that will say “ikke tilsat vand”.

      America fired all the inspector-types, though, as conservative governments usually do on about day 1. So now consumers get to protect themselves the same way they ‘did their own’ epidemiological research in the last pandemic.

        This is been a thing since Reagan though, it gets worse under the Republican administrations but it does not get much better under the Democrats. We get more fucked every cycle.

      The turkeys I buy on sale in bulk when I can, 50 cents a pound, have 15% of a salt solution with some other salted bullshit some phosphate or I don’t know I’ve been meaning to look it up. Probably not great for you though knowing the US Food supply.
