What do they do to your Food?
Wendy Knowler’s Consumer Watch exposed Shoprite for selling defrosted chicken breast fillets as fresh. Shoprite claimed that a ‘Previously Frozen’ sticker should have been put on the pack.
The complainant had assumed that the ‘pinkish liquid’ in the punnet was the result of the defrosting process.
Wrong. It is leakage from the saline solution injected by the supplier into the chicken breast, totally legally. Knowler mentioned this without flinching, which makes her a far stronger woman than I am.
This means I’ve been eating birds that have had the equivalent of a boob job.
Smacks of foul play to me.

Frightening how the consumer gets cheated! They use the saline solution to bulk up the weight when frozen. When you're paying per kg....

YUCK!! What else are "they" doing to the food we buy?????

Isn't the stuff in fake boobs silicone? and saline is the stuff in drips. Our chicken is simply medicated.
Either way - makes me wanna become a vegetarian. A vegetarian who loves steak.
Picky picky Dex.
Just close your eyes, squeeze the saline solution bag and think of England die Vierkleur. You'll know it's the same.
Just warmer.
Thats the least of your worries
An extra bit of salt - better than the phosphates and nitrite you get in your bacon!
