>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.

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.
