The small (normal) one was in the same packaging. It weighs less than half the big one, which also has some weird white striping. The label says it is packaged in germany but not where the meat is from. Are we being sold american meat full of hormones and additives or something? It also smells weird. I tried giving it to my cats and they refused to touch it.

I strongly assume it’s from the US, especially because of the lack of labelling.
I’m from the US and chicken breasts there are often enormous, tasteless, and low-quality. Next time, if you care at all, check where the meat is from before buying it and simply don’t buy it if it doesn’t say. They’re trying to trick us into eating US chicken because of the tariff debacle.
did the american chickens already hit the shelves?
Umm yeah… don’t give raw chicken to cats, that is risky for them.
Declaration where it is packaged should include where the meat is from. So far swiss supermarkets did not show a lot of interest into american meat, so no i guess it is not from there.
Since it smells weird and we can not smell it over text, i would be suspicious.
Maybe check the date on the package and call Denner tomorrow. It might be, if the date was still good that something happened while transport, for example the temperature chain got broken and it became to warm… and that would probably mean the whole charge is at risk.
Also you might get a compensation from Denner.
Buy at Coop next time, they mention country on package…
Wow that looks like a classic hormone laden American chicken breast. Throw that garbage out.
Probably US
Be careful. Americans, for one, like to bleach their chickens. They also pump them full of antibiotics when alive. Avoid shopping for meat at Denner, Lidl and Aldi. If the price is too good to be try, chances are the chickens are not cared for well.
Might also be Danish (check “turbokyckling”) or from any country where the chicken race “Ross 308″is still popular.
It’s normal for chicken breasts to vary in size. The non-normal part is that the country of origin isn’t labeled on the packaging, i’m pretty sure they have to do that by law
Do not eat American chicken.. it goes through a chlorine bath. Most slaughter houses ensure good hygiene throughout the process of butchering chickens.. in the USA the assumption is that things were never hygienic enough so the chlorine bath is there to kill off any pathogens that happened to get into the chicken. This is because they have increased the speeds of the chickens going through the conveyor belts for more profit. I also thought that it was a law in Switzerland itself and the EU at large that meat must have its origins clearly presented on the packaging label. I could be confused though and maybe that is for restaurant products. I am still wondering to myself how it would even be more profitable to sell chicken from the USA here at a lower price point. Although it is cheaper than CH meat it would still incur shipping costs and I thought that would lead to a markup alone. There are some good quality U.S. steak you could get but I’d assume chicken would be the lowest of the low because it’s already a cheaper source of protein and why would a consumer choose U.S. chicken over anything produced here or in the EU?
Attack of the American Chlorine Chicken
Do not eat US poison chicken, do not drink US company pro genocide coffee and do not buy US scam airplanes which will probably end up turning on us anyway. Oops. Maybe we should add it is ok to bribe tinpot dictators that id the foundation of Swiss wealth but do not actually indulge them? Cos US shit just fkin bad.
Probably Ross 308 breed. One of the most horrible things modern breeding has ever brought about
I find this post quite hypocritical. “OMG Maybe it is poisonous American chicken!” when everybody knows the shitty standards of German chicken production.
Maybe just buy Swiss chicken, yes it is more expensive, but there may be a reason why it is so.
U.S. chicken = thrash
Nachwas schmöckts
In Migros the chicken breast from Hungary (from the lower shelves) is significantly larger than Swiss chicken breast and about twice cheaper.
Abused chicken as we call it
Maybe your chicken played tennis
Honestly it looks like it’s already rotting…
Reminds me of foie gras
There is no corruption in Switzerland. sure…
Plot twist: it’s somehow also horse meat from poland
Kassensturz might be intressted in this story. If it is really U.S chicken, this would be a great story for media and should become public.
