According to experts, about one-third of chicken sold in the United States is injected with additives. These additives include salt, water, and other ingredients. They are intended to make the meat tastier and more tender. They can, however, represent up to 15 percent of the chicken's weight. These additives can also double—or even triple—the food's sodium content. Industry experts note that labeling such chicken as "natural" is becoming increasingly common. Many people wonder what exactly this label means. The Department of Agriculture has guidelines about what foods can carry the "natural" label. If chicken is not flavored with artificial ingredients or preserved with chemicals, it can be labeled "natural."
