Birds "Eye" "Crispy" Chicken (4 per pack - 340g)£3.25 £1.62

Missed one!:rotfl: This, definitely, should be changed to "Chicken" in quotation marks.

While there's no doubt that the "Chicken" part of the product is "Chicken", the ingredients also show the product contains dextrose (effectively sugar), palm oil, water, rapeseed oil, starch and salt. (Not necessarily in that order.) Dextrose, water, salt, oil and starch can be part of the mix that can 'bulk out' the product and, according to last night's programme, increase the weight a significant deal - by about 50%. When the meat costs more, it's a very good way for products to increase weight and be less costly to the producers who can then sell them as being made with 100% chicken breast meat.

These packs say "Why does it say made with 100% chicken breast if it's 51% chicken breast? Made with 100% chicken breast means we use only chicken breast meat in our range. The other 49% relates to the other tasty [their word:p] ingredients such as the coating."

Someone may as well say the product is made with "100% water" or that the product uses "100% salt". As all the salt in it is salt, therefore it's 100% salt, even though the rest relates to the other, non-salt ingredients of the product such as the barely over half chicken.

The product certainly isn't 100% Chicken! (Even though all of the 51% chicken is 100% chicken.) Wonder if "made with 100% water" would carry the same ring though?:rotfl:

100% rapeseed oil!! (Yuck...)

In conclusion, therefore, it just seems to me that "100% chicken breast meat" or anything with 100% is just plainly meaningless.

I noticed - mentioned on this list - the Salad Cress Tvs S in 3s (3, 6 or 9). The word "Cress" may need quotations too! The Sains. product - then again it's of being quality:p, that according to Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd. - does say on the container that is "Rape (80%), Cress (20%)". So - it's Salad Rape then more than it is Salad Cress. Again - wonder if it were called "Salad Rape" whether it would have the same attraction. It's certainly needing now to be changed to Salad "Cress", and wondering whether the word "Salad" itself is needing quotes!:rotfl::rotfl: Perhaps it's neither of the two things it is called!

M mbuy picked up (on that particular KTC product without mix and match):T:T:T. Why does it appear now to be 4 for £1 in A though?:( Frown, as if that's mbuy price, not liking mbuy being picked up:rotfl::rotfl: (would prefer 37p x4:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but cost £1 in the first place!).

Wondering what the S/P Tomatoes (75p) go vs elsewhere?
