It is on the label, but it is not prominent. A couple years ago, would
you have expected a package of boneless skinless chicken breasts to
have a slat water solution in them? What is the purpose other than to
make the piece of meat heavier? So, there is no reason for a person to
choose the product on purpose. It just started happening, and it took
awhile for a lot of people to catch on. I never knew of this practice
until I bought some meat at Winco. I was completely surprised, and I
have never bought meat at Winco again. And since Walmart does it too,
I don't buy their meat either. And I check labels now.

I have also found that it is really hard to find any precooked shrimp
or prawns without a lot of salt. I like to buy them already cooked, so
that I can thaw some for a snack. Or throw some in a pasta dish, etc.
And since I do eat them plain sometimes, the salt is very noticeable.
I found one brand that is great, but they were a special sale a few
times, and not in stock otherwise.
