White meat eaters beware

moremoney · 4 Jun 2009 at 00:49

Just found out on the radio, Spain, Germany, and The Netherlands, have been injecting chickens with beef, and pork waste.

Bad news for white meat only eaters.

Found it.

Some kind of bad joke or just a badly written post?

It's a good job that I don't eat Spanish, German or Dutch chickens then, isn't it?

asim18 · 4 Jun 2009 at 00:53

Why would we import chickens from either of those countries?

But you do if you eat out.

Surely only if I have chicken though, and I don't eat chicken when I'm out. Well, apart from the odd hot roast chicken bap from the Womble Inn and they're 100% locally sourced chickens.

Oh NOES !!!! Pork or beef in my chicken :eek:

!!!!!

Why care about some meat in your meat so you can eat meat while you're eating meat ?

Bah!

More meat for your money.

WIN!

First person to make an Xzibit out of this wins....some chicken!

I'm not religious and have no other reason to avoid any type of meat so, quite frankly, couldn't care less.

I doubt anyone would notice/care:

The swindle was only detected by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) using new scientific techniques because the non-chicken material had been so highly processed it passed standard DNA tests.

So, DNA wise, it's just chicken...

Also, the bollards about religious groups eating pork + beef etc, it was hardly deliberate or voluntary, and it would be such a small amount....Bet it was the best "chicken" they've ever eaten, finger lickin' good!

Just go atheist and eat what you like, WIN!

Beware what? What am I supposed to do if I eat white meat at a restaurant or from a supermarket? Do some tests on it first?

No, send it off to the FSA, since normal DNA tests will confirm that you're just eating chicken....

It needs new scientific methods to detect the other meat in ur meat.

Personally I think some lab tech at the FSA didn't wipe the probe after they tested the pork/beef and there was some residue left on it when they tested the chicken :rolleyes:

The point is, it's not meat in your meat.

It's bone and gristle added to you're meat.

If you don't know it don't matter right?

Now you do know. Ugh

In a powder form to help retain water inside the breast...You're unlikely to find a pork scratching in the middle of your chicken breast...well maybe at KFC :rolleyes:

I'm just not quite sure why it's such a big problem? Or is the problem simply that you find powdered bone and gristle being used as a bulking agent disgusting?

Personally, I don't give two hoots as long as it tastes, looks and feels like chicken.

How do you know what you are eating when you eat out.

Saying that you believe it is local chicken, (because they said so), is the same as saying, what you read on the internet is true.
