It seems to be quite common to inject water into meat in NZ.
True. I was surprised when I came back home from Oz and found it was happening to the meat, although its worse over here in the US. I will say that you know what you are buying over here though.. it says quite clearly on the pk what meat percentage is to the fat/water. ie: 75% ground beef or 100%. The price you pay is relative. In NZ you dont have that choice.(or its not clearly marked)
Guess all I can say is choose carefully when you buy it. I was spoiled with meat while I was at home.. I was only 2 doors down from the Buffalo butcher. Fresh farm killed beef and they smoked the bacon out the back of the shop. It was heaven....
