    So does save on foods. My ground chicken just this past Sunday was marked at .429k but were all 3.95kg when I measured to portion.

    Edit: .419kg not 4.19KG

      I should just carry my small kitchen scale to the store and measure things. If its the same weight or less as what’s shown, they’re either including the packaging or its underweight, neither of which is allowed.

      They needed to inject it with more salt water, so don’t worry, they only shorted you salt water, not meat. Go back to the store, and demand the missing salt water that you paid meat prices for.

      it was weighed at the grinder, and moisture dries off.

      You are talking about 25g on 4kg, that’s only 0.6%.

        Moisture doesn’t dry off in sealed plastic. Regardless, it is advertised as an amount it isn’t, a weight that could be measured at the checkout scale and priced accurately to account for that, and isn’t, by choice.

        Anyways, it’s 419g, not 4.19 KG, so this is 6%, not 0.6%. I mistyped in my post and have edited that, apologies.
