Answer
Brine injecting is widely practised and permitted. In essence, brine solution comprises of salt water and flavour. The salt in the solution causes the cells in the meat to open thus facilitating osmosis, and exchange of fluids. This results in much more moist and flavourful meat.Brine injecting of poultry is absolutely safe for human consumption.
Legislation controls the amount of brine which may be injected. This may differ from country to country.
