SAN ANTONIO -- The next time you're at the grocery store, you may want to take a closer look at the label on the frozen chicken.You may be paying more for the poultry without realizing it."Some poultry companies have been injecting products with broth or immersing them in salty solutions to try to make them tastier and more tender," said Kim Klemen of Consumer Reports.Some labels claim the products are "enhanced" with up to 15 percent chicken broth."Pumping up the meat can also add water weight and sodium," Klemen said.At $14.61, it means you could be playing up to $2.19 for the added liquid, Klemen added.Consumer Reports suggests checking the fine print on the labels to see if it has the added liquid or if it's all-natural. That way, you avoid paying for the extra liquid and the extra sodium.
