Wrong chicken labeling

Consumers were warned on Wednesday about the incorrect labelling of some frozen chicken products sold across the country.

The health department said the warning applied to frozen chicken portions.

Health spokesperson Fidel Radebe said in some cases the percentage of the brine-based mixture added to the chicken portions was as high as 30%.

This negatively affects the quality from a nutritional perspective and increased the amount of salt present.
