I have only 2 chains within reasonable drive, Kroger and Walmart. I remember when walmart first opened here with the grocery about 5 years ago. I went through the meat dept and looked at the label of every cut they had. There was only 2 cuts on the shelf that weren't injected with salt water. Full packer brisket was one, the other was a beef cut but I forget what it was. The flats were injected as well as chicken injected with broth. If it wasn't for Sams I would not have any place to buy good meat at a reasonable price.
I think Kroger meat is the same, enhanced. My brother bought some ribs on sale at Kroger a while back and asked me to smoke them. I didn't cut back on the salt enough, they were a salt lick and much tougher than the ones I smoked earlier that day.
So I buy all my meat from sams except full packers at wally world. For some reason sams doesn't get packers. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Jeff, keep in mind that what I've learned here is that not all "enhanced" ribs are necessarily objectionable. The ingredient to avoid is phosphates.
