    They also do this to beef, pork, and a bunch of other meats in the US. The higher water content is part of the reason preservation methods don’t work as well.

    For instance, trying to make Jerry out of water injected beef means you have to dry out the added water in addition to what was in the meat to start with, and you can’t use the post drying weight to calculate if it is dry enough.

    Plus poking the holes to add the water is one more vector for bacteria…
