Re: Injected Pork - It's Spreading

I know I've read plenty on here about pork that's been injected with a
saline solution, and I don't recall that much of it's been positive. It's
not something I'd ever seen here.

On Tuesday this week I was reading the Good Living section of the Sydney
Morning Herald. There's a section called "New In Store" which features new
products. This one caught my eye

Moisture-infused pork

This is perfect dinner party fare, especially when one or two guests are
late. Moisture-infused pork is juicier, more tender and so tasty. Everyone
loves meat that is easy to cook without drying out and these new pork cuts
have been infused with a water-and-salt solution, which retains the
moisture. Try the pork chops with a wedge or two of poached quince and a
watercress salad for a delectable dinner.
Available from selected butchers and supermarkets.

Don't think I'll be looking for it any time soon.

It figures the practice of pork "enhancement" has spead to Down Under.
</grin on> I still think it's a conspiracy </grin off> so "they" (those
who pocket the profits) can charge premium price-per-pound for the
injected water, salt, and other ingredients that aren't a natural part
of the meat. I can't really do the math, but if up to 12% of the (USA)
product is injected, then that's not an insignificant number to pay at
pork prices.
