Falsification of how old it is, dubious hygiene standards for the meat, shop returned meat is mixed with the fresh and given a new date. Because this supplier creates fake dates and origins for the meat, it means that tracing any of it becomes very difficult - which will be a problem if any of it causes health problems.
You can't trust the label |

"I buy my chickens from a local farm shop. They rear and keep their own.
My local farm shop charges £14 for a whole chicken... Fuck that! "
That seems excessive, but similarly it shouldn't be possible to rear one for what the supermarkets sell them for. They're cheap for a reason so I don't know why everybody's so shocked! |

I bought my chickens (when I kept them) 4 quid each. Reared them in corn/feed etc. Free eggs when they're growing. You figure out if it's cheaper than 14quid. |

right or wrong the poultry industry is all about economies of scale, 1000’s of broilers in a shed on a quick turnaround. It’s not the same as me and you keeping one for the pot. Unfortunately its all just about cheap protein. |

When have had the horse meat...the disinfected chickens...and many more greed motivated incidents.
I just have very little trust in the food industries or the inspectorate system that is meant to stop this happening. |

I don't buy it from supermarkets
Have you seen how much water they inject into a chicken to make it look bigger
I know some people/families can't always afford to use farm shops or butchers
But you get what you pay for
Personally I will always buy from a local butcher as I know I'm getting quality but then there is only me to buy for
But supermarket meat/poultry is in my opinion awful
But understand if on a budget needs must |

If people looked into tge production of animal products a lot of us wouldn't eat it.
It's only ignorance that makes us go into a supermarket and buy an extra large chicken for £4 
If you're worried about tampering with dates, hormones etc ...
Then stop eating it - because meat production is your worst nightmare!
The date on the meat is the lesst of your worries  |

Exactly, Sainsbury's are hardly going to do an audit on their supplier then tell the country how bad their chicken is.. |

Hormones?
Growth homones in feed are illegal in the EU, as is injecting water into meat. |

I used to work as a forklift truck driver at a turkey factory. Occasionally a bin of fresh meat would be dropped, it didn't matter if only one or two carcasses actually went on the floor, the entire bin went for recycling as pig food. I can't vouch for what happened in the butchering department though.
I buy all my meat from a local butcher in the Market hall and have done for many years. I get a good deal and there's a hell of a lot less packaging as well   |

Do the dutch still roll chicken breasts around and around in those big washing machines as they take on water? |

You don't need hormones with a Ross Cobb. |

If you look at a lot of food industries I'm sure you'll find that these things happen more than you realise, maybe not to the same degree but it does happen and they don't get caught either.... |

If I open a chicken and it smells bad, it's going back to the supermarket. Pretty simple really.
They will find it very hard to cover the smell of rotting meat.
I'm always shocked that people will go on the dates put on packaging. Have we all forgotten how to check our food is fresh for ourselves? |

Mind you I cooked a pack of thigh fillets last week and they looked and smelled fine but the odd mouthful tasted wrong......  |
