Hey /fit/ could you tell me if my chicken is ok? I never saw chicken breasts with small dots like in my pic before. Is it safe to eat? Bought it in a supermarket frozen
Thanks, also how are your lifts doing?
throw that shit out
It means it's organic chicken and safe to eat uncooked.
thats where the feathers went in you idiot

it may be holes from injections of water binding agent. it's safe to it them, but don't buy that brand ever again, that's a fraud.

This is correct. They've injected the chicken breast with "brine" to increase the weight. It's a scam.
>>41437859
wrong
>>41437882
right

Why buy frozen breasts? The meat section will sell refrigerated breast for like $2/pound. I'm talking the counter where they slice meat etc., not the shrinkwrapped stuff in styrofoam trays.

I assumed OP was an Amerilard because of the shameful meat tampering, and it's my understanding grocery stores all around the country sell meat at the meat counter/department for cheaper than packaged stuff.

>shoppers could be paying up to an additional $1.70 per package for added saltwater

Brine helps increase the shelf life. It's not just to increase weight. I've never seen chicken, organic or otherwise, that wasn't packaged with brine
>>41437753
it's the holes from when the factory injects chicken juice into the chicken breast

if it is higher than 15% you are getting probably getting ripped off a bit. Most butchers/grocery carry multiple brands just grab the 1 with the lowest % water solution
it looks like strawberry pizza dough, i hope that helps
>>41439554
I think 15% is the max allowed by the USDA

>>41439554
the giant costco bags are like 8% brine
>buying frozen breasts
Even fucking Walmart sells refrigerated chicken breasts for $1.99. If you want to step it up, some stores like Sprouts Farmers Market have it as loss leaders for like $1.69.
