Survival: Canned Chicken For Prepping And Survival Food 

Modified food starch has nothing to do with MSG. It is used to thicken or emulsify foods. Likely used in this case to add more body to the chicken. Natural flavor on the other hand is only “slightly “ natural so you’re correct there

Hello TCgirl, MSG gets sneaked into many foods these days by calling it umpteen different things!

@@ChefPrepper right, and I am not saying in a survival situation that I wouldn't consume it if that is all there is obviously, but if I am prepping in advance, it's good to know in case someone might need to avoid MSG or the like, in favor of something else they might be able to find that doesn't contain it. Thank you for being open to hearing this without jumping to judgement as others on here have. I appreciate it. I also appreciate your channel! 🙂

@@ChefPrepper I do still buy the canned chicken even if it has the modified food starch in it, for prepping, at least until I can find a better and cost effective alternative. Thanks again for your channel!

Natural flavors is aborted kidney cells. It's in everything. It enhances the flavors.

Hello kuzinit, Yep they are pretty right out the can and can be used in so many ways. Your sandwich sounds great!

Two cans of chicken 1 cup of cold Mayo add tablespoon of dill weed- teasopn celery seed -and half teaspon celery salt or regular salt a little bit of pepper,stir well and put in fridge to chill, you can add to it like maybe a little bit of dried onion or garlic

In a skillet with a little cornstarch for gravy. Great meal with rice or potatoes

Hello peter5.056, You have a very good plan in place! And we, to, like lentils and have a few in our storage foods.

Hello williamtinlin, Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you found our channel and that is useful for you! And you are right, cheapest is not always the best!

Hello robedmund, Your recipe sounds delicious! The microwave might not be useful in a true grid-down situation, but, we are not there yet. In such times, make your own flat bread with flour and water as a tortilla substitute, a little powdered cheese and use a camping type of oven and you can still have your enchiladas! Thank you for watching and sharing this recipe.

Can't argue with that!

Hello Steve, I was surprised by the can contents vs the labels! Not having a Sam's Club nearby makes the choice easier! Thank you for watching and commenting!

@@ChefPrepper Hey Les, I was surprised at what you turned up as well. Your results show we really need to pay attention to labeling and compare when possible. As I stated earlier, I thought I had noticed a difference in the meat to liquid ratio between like products of different brands but didn't think much of it. Something the Chef Prepper labs totally confirmed. What gets me is that I always assumed that "net contents" meant the product (meat) itself, and not the liquid it's packed in as well. Live and learn, eh? 😉

Hello vegasprepping, Thank you! I get a little of both too.

You are welcoe and glad it was helpful!

Hello wolfdoctor, Keystone is a good choice, maybe the best for canned chicken overall. Thanks for watching and don't hold your breath waiting for Costco in NW Arkansas.

Thanks for watching and subbing! Lots of downsizing going on except the prices!

Hello anniegetyrgun, Makes the choice easy! Thanks for watching!

Hello roguegypsy, Yeah, it has less "stuff" in it! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hello bigdogbob, Thank you Bigdogbob,! That's a pretty good price! I would get a few of those.

Hello pauletterichards, You are welcome! And thank you for watching!

Hello Scotty86doo, Shelf life is variable. Most canned meats have a Best By date of 2-4 years after going on the shelf at the grocery store. In reality most canned meat and most canned foods have a shelf life that goes far beyond the Best By date. I have a couple of videos that have links to information about the shelf life of canned foods that you might check out. If you have trouble finding them, let me know and thank you for watching.

Hello nekbiodieselworks, I like the Clover Valley canned goods too. They are decently priced and seem to be as good a quality as other brands of canned food.

Hello kathyfan, Can't argue with that! Thank you for watching!

Hello daval, You are welcome and thank you for watching!

Hello again daval, You should consider starting a RU-vid channel! You have a lot of good ideas, information and know-how!

@@ChefPrepper Thank you for the compliment but it's not for me, ... I'm too "mental". You see, the minute I associate making money doing something, I lose all interest in doing something. Sad but true. Call it my own "vow of poverty" but I only use money given to me freely and unconditionally, ... and that would be social security and the old age pension, all $132 of the pension every month. Thank god because that entitles me to welfare and what would I do without welfare? AKA, Social Security? I call this place the Gulag of Poverty and one must be resourceful here in the great gateless, guardless, prison of despair called the Gulag of Poverty. This Gulag creates the incentive in losers such as myself that would drive us to agree to flip those "for profit" burgers, "serve" those for profit tables, and clean those "for profit" toilets, all for a part time, minimum wage, no benefits, position of subservience, ... and I'm sorry, but I was never good at saying, Yessum Massa". See? Mental. I have my "papers" stating it so too. Besides all this written drivel. So I work on the Ways of the Win/Win and the Economics of Time for the future child. It's the least I can do and were I to be distracted by "work" and that eternal quest for "money", I wouldn't get much done now would I? I'm happy planting my seeds of Win/Win in the dismal and depleted soil of the win/lose with the knowledge that failed human filth makes the best fertilizer. Just don't be the best fertilizer. The Economics of Time are a community owned "not for profit" worth and value of our time and energy based in time alone, backed by the abundance of the world, and built on a foundation of truth and reality. No more lies and corruption of "eternal growth and profit" here where nothing grows forever and "profit" is a concept not to be found in nature. We lived in a world of abundance, not profit. Plant a grain of Wheat and get 14 grains back, that's not profit, that's abundance and "profit" was the method used to concentrate that abundance of the world into the hands and control of the few, the elite, the entitled, and those great winners in a perverted world of childish win/lose. The abundance of our time and energy serves others and we currently allow it. Might be too late for the vast majority too. Seems we have traded our lives for a privately owned "for profit" road of convenience that has taken us so far from all that is natural and organic, such as the ability to feed, clothe, and shelter ourselves, that when this proved unsustainable road of "eternal growth and profit" collapses, we're going to die by the billions. Too harsh? Maybe. Twist your head around this for shits and giggles. In reality the time and energy "spent" in production renders the product paid for. Imagine a free world for free children. In reality, everything we need for our lives and convenience can be calculated in the human time required for production and exchanged for equal amounts of all that "time" produces. I know, that just stinks of true equality and would only be declared "too Commie" by the afflicted. No profit in it they say because they are blind I say. Imagine "how" the abundance of the world transformed into the worth and value of our time and energy would compound annually until the future child was born rich instead of being born an ignorant slave to the lies and corruption called "eternal growth and profit", because Mommy and Daddy were/are. Oops! My "real" crazy is showing! With the Ways of the Win/Win only people with the proven ability to practice and achieve the Win/Win advance to the highest tables of power where the action and direction taken by the people "serve" to benefit everyone equally and not just benefit the few, the elite, the entitled, and the great winners of the world as we do today. Remember, they crucified Christ and almost burned Galileo alive because they dared to question the Status Quo. Now I ain't that mental to believe that I'm anywhere near those guys but I am crazy enough to question the Status Quo. Shamed too, that it takes one such as myself to do so. Where's all the smart and qualified people? Oh yeah, bought off by the system and rewarded well for their compliance. They have too much to lose whereas all I have to lose is my life and that's taken anyway. Nature will see to that eh? OK, I'm ranting again. I pray I've entertained if nothing else, ... Keep up the great work and good luck.

Hello crisservin, Good choice, we get some of the Keystone meats also and they are "clean", less stuff added into their meats.

Hello bradherniem, Yep, for those folks that are willing to put in the time and effort, canning your own is very good idea!

Hello negrammy, Sorry to hear about your experience with some of those canned chicken sources. It is a good idea to try a canned food before stocking up on it! Thank you for watching and hope you stick around on our channel!

Hello, lusnorthernhome, Usually it is for us, but the labels can sometimes be misleading. The actual meat content of these two was much closer than the calorie content on the label, with Costco actually having slightly more weight than Sam's (according to my unscientific test). Thank you for watching.

Hello JonTanOsb, That's a long drive! Actually we have to drive about the same, so, our visit is when we make the drive for another reason and then go to one or the other place on that trip.

Hello mrallan, I am not sure what made the difference, both are supposed to be breast meat from the chicken.

Well, that’s kind of sad. But it does still taste good and gives you protein that you will definitely need. I guess its a good use for old layer chickens.

Hello 8ema, I think you are right and we have some old layers that we have to do something with, Hmm, I think we are going to pressure can some of them. Thank you for watching!

Hello SupaStah, I am glad you found a clear winner for your preps! The color I think had something to do with the additional "stuff" in the Costco chicken. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hello bobd, Sounds like choosing between the two in your area is an easy decision. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hell rosekennedy, Can't argue with that! Thank you for watching and sharing with our channel community.

Right. Good for folks to find out before they invest very much into one brand or the other.

Hello ottoskorzeny, My thoughts exactly!

😂 same here

Hello antoniobressi, I like it, but not as good as freshly made fried or baked chicken, but in times when the fresh stuff isn't readily available, the canned chicken will come in very handy. Try a can or two and see how you like it. Thank you for watching!

In things like soups or chilis with a lot of other ingredients, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Definitely avoid the whole chicken in a can if you’ve seen those though 🤮

Hello robhollon, Yeah, some folks have to be very careful with their food choices. Two of our family have Celiac disease and two others are allergic to red meat due to tick bites. I am glad you found the video helpful!

Hello DesignbyDonBrown, Right you are DesignbyDonBrown! Natural Flavors can be nearly anything and is usually a form of MSG.

Hello snowbunny, I did not notice that, but it is important for many people. Thank you for watching and the info.

Hello BibleExposition, I also like them both and get a little of each one for my storage food.

Yes this is the case many times! Thank you for watching.
