what are the gelatin or polymer packets found in the bottom of trays of poultry at the supermarket?
I have been finding long bags of something squishy at the bottom of the styrofoam trays of chicken I purchase at the market. It appears to be gelatinous pellets that have absorbed moisture . .
Does anyone know what it is? . . it's not gelatin as it doesn't bind . . it's more like some moisture absorbing polymer.

It is a food safe gel formulated to absorb moisture and extend the life of the product. It makes the poultry more appealing by absorbing its blood and body fluids. Click on the link below for the website of a company that supplies these pads.
