Qalyubia poultry injections widespread
The article addresses the issue of commercial fraud in the poultry market in Egypt. Many consumers have been deceived by the injection of water into chicken breasts and thighs to increase their weight, without the use of hormones as some claim. The head of the Poultry Department at the Federation of Chambers of Commerce confirmed that most shops have been repeating this practice for a long time, and cases of confiscating inedible poultry continue to occur regularly. He explained that water injection leads to a deterioration in meat quality and a reduction in weight, and that consuming water-injected poultry harms public health, as the meat loses its nutritional value and ends up in soups made from injected water instead of healthy meat. Surveillance campaigns have resulted in the confiscation of 200 kilograms of injected poultry, amid the ongoing practice of this fraud, raising consumers' concerns about their safety.
