I remember when I visited a supermarket in the states and noticed something very weird: Not only chicken breast was super super cheap but the color was whiteish and didn't look right to me.

Since a young age I visited egg farms and I can tell you the conditions are far from ideal, they even turn on the lights at 3am to enhance egg production. We're talking about egg farms that are regulated by EU laws. About 12 years ago the EU regulated how many chickens were allowed in a single case (about 8 I believe).

Even with EU regulation it is well known that the amount of antibiotics is simple too much and dangerous, we've law holes like: It is regulated in France but you can cross the border and get it in Spain as they don't control who buys it.

If this gets approved, I demand it to be labeled.

Could it be woody breast?

The fat on American chickens is visibly whiter than those I've seen for sale from small local farms as well as the ones in Australia, which both tend to have a much deeper yellow to them.

I think that's a diet thing, though.

Woody breast tends to give a striated appearance to the meat.

Just checked the pictures of woody breast and the ones I saw were even whiter.

I can tell you that chicken breast in the UK, France and Portugal looks and tastes the same to me.
