Chicken is perhaps one of the most versatile of foods. For the shopper, an overwhelming variety of poultry is seen on supermarket shelves. In our effort to serve foods that are as natural as possible, it is important to read the labels even when it comes to chicken. Some companies add a solution to their fresh chicken products that can include water, salt, carrageenan (a seaweed extract) or broth.
One producer, Sanderson Farms that opened shop in 1947, is concerned about this trend in chicken seen in the markets. Here's what they say: "we don’t add anything to our fresh chicken. There are no additives, artificial ingredients or preservatives. Ours is always a single ingredient product: 100% natural chicken."
