Reply to comment by ExaltedWithFloor in Crash involving ‘chicken juice’ closes stretch of Interstate 83 north in Dauphin County by ExaltedWithFloor

Yes! I saw the news story earlier and I wanted to know as well. I'm telling myself it's broth because anything else raises more questions.

We had a discussion in a discord with some local friends. I think we landed on broth would technically be chicken "tea". Juice sounds more like some sort of processing plant waste.

Sorry. Definitely not broth. Chicken/poultry processing facilities pack some fresh processed birds and parts in ice for transport. The ice melts, mixing with liquids from processed chicken and makes chicken juice. They cant have processed poultry soaking it the chicken juice, so all the shipping containers a perforated to drain into the trailers. The refrigerated trailers that transport processed chicken have a few drain holes in the rear that allow the chicken juice to drain and discharge to the road/ground/etc. Its gross, but not the worst of all the gross stuff that happens at poultry processing facilities.
