I'm wondering how folks here feel about the chicken that's got 5 - 12% added sodium water and/or chicken broth. Pork too, for that matter. I've been avoiding it at Kroger, my usual supermarket, feeling that they're charging me extra for the weight of water and a little salt, and feeling that I'll decide how I want to brine my poultry and swine. Some of the solutions also contains preservatives that I'd prefer to avoid.
I recently started shopping at Aldi for some things, and while the selection is small, their beef and salmon offerings look like better quality and value than what I can get at Kroger. But ALL of their chicken and pork appears to be injected/soaked in some kind of brine/preservative solution.
Curious who else avoids this extra processing, or if my bias against it isn't as reasonable as I feel it is.
