There is another health risk with these chickens besides the increased sodioum. Many manufacturers are also injecting carrageenan along with the salt water. Carrageenan is a thickener that is made from dried bleached red seaweed. It is being used in many dairy and meat products to disguise the fact that they are being watered down. Some people have a bad reaction to it and experience nausea and abdominal pain after eating it. My 4 year old daugher was incorrectly diagnosed with lactose intolerance and then IBS before I figured out this additive was causing the problem. Removing it from her diet cleared her symptoms. I have to check labels every time I purchase something because it shows up in a suprising number of products, and something will be okay one week, and have it in it the next.
