Usually cheaper than store bought non-organic processed chicken.

What? How? Shipped live? Dead? Frozen? How do they process that? How is this beneficial? To whom?

The audit allows China to sell back to the US only poultry that was raised and slaughtered in the US, or (as the audit documents say) a country “that FSIS determined to have a poultry slaughter inspection system equivalent to the US system.” But the magazine World Poultry notes: “Experts suggest that this could be the first step towards allowing China to export its own domestic chickens to the US.”

I'll guarantee WM was a driving force behind this.

Not to mention, there is plenty of salmonella in China to import back to the USA.

"who thought this was a good idea"?

I'm originally from Portsmouth, Virginia and the Smithfield Plant was recently sold to the Chinese.

Smithfield is home of the famous Smithfield Hams, which was hq'd in Smithfield, Va. Not very far from my native Portsmouth. So naturally people were up in arms.

And now this..........

patented by DuPont. I'm not kidding you.

Check out the Smithfield Pork for that Disclaimer. And, unfortunately Smithfield bought out a bunch of independent Pork Sellers that still have their Indie Name...but, the processing is Smithfield...who Injects the Pork with that 12% Patented Solution...that we don't know whats in it ...except their Website says to create a "Juicy, Tender Pork."

The Mainstream Pork these days is disgusting when you cook it up...Glistening Sheen of Chemicals. Bloated with the 12% Solution. BLECH! And that describes the taste! Given me my lean, flavorful Pork of years past. It had FLAVOR! even if sometimes it was on the "dry side" one could still do a lot with it that compensated.

Don't even mentioned the Chickens we cook who have no Veins ...CLONED ...I think!

How the fuck will they do this and make money at it?

When they say "processed", I have to guess that this means making the chicken into something sold in a box, with breading or some such thing.

This scares me. What is the most frightening is that they will not have to mark it as processed in China.

One of these days, we will have massive deaths from products imported from China....and then we will do something about it, but it will be too late for a large number of people.

and even for Mainstream Brand Soups like Campbell's and Progresso..use the Preformed Chunks in their soups that have Chicken Added.

It's cheaper to process and vacuum them into chunks and send back to USA than to do it here.

There is a solution to this kind of crap you know... resist!

I'm sure it will be as safe as Chinese made jerky treats for dogs.
