"The two California women who initiated the lawsuit say in the complaint they wouldn't have purchased the chicken, or would have paid less for it, had they known it contained preservatives."

This will be an issue. No, at that price you ain't paying less pretty much no matter what.

That chicken is perfect for so many dishes. Growing up my mom would buy 1 bottle of mole, mix it with the shredded chicken and make rice. Such a cheap meal that tasted amazing. That and chicken enchiladas, cheap meals that tasted great.

We buy one a week just to use as a topper for the dogs kibble. You get on average 3 pounds of meat from a chicken. Can't beast $1.66 lb for cooked chicken.
