I'm sure it's just salt and water.
I don't understand why consumers will pay for a chicken breast which has been injected with salt water. It comes out when you prepare it.
Also some people don't season food with salt (you can add salt at the table if you really need it). Meat with added salt taste very salty to me.
It's also down to vaccination requirements for EU based farms who take far more preventative measures than US ones.
It's why you can eat raw eggs and keep them out of the fridge in the EU/UK but not in the US, because the chickens are vaccination for Salmonella.
