Don't Buy Chicken From These 8 Australian Supermarkets (Here's Why)

Most Australians have no idea what's actually in the chicken they buy from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, Costco, IGA, 7-Eleven, FoodWorks, and Friendly Grocer every week. In this video, we go through 8 supermarket and retail chicken operations you need to know about — covering white striping disease, added water labelling, franchise food safety failures, cold chain inconsistency, and the 2025 ABARES review that confirmed market failure across Australia's entire chicken industry. This is everything these companies don't want you reading on the label.
