I'm pretty sure enhanced meat are labeled as such. The lettering might be really small on the label, and may be hidden at the very bottom edge of label, but it will say "enhanced with xx% solution" or "contains a xx% marinade solution" on the label.
Next time you go shopping for meat, bring your magnifying glass and study those labels on the cryo'd pork and whole chickens. It'll be on there somewhere. If it's not on the label, than they are not enhanced. It aint right to cover up the labels with a price tag either. It's probably against all the rules about visible nutrition labels etc. "Moist and Tender" or "Always Tender" are dead giveaways for enhanced meat.

Oak Ridge rubs are one of the few low sodium rubs available commercially. Big Ron's is another brand that's really low in sodium.

I already replied to this thread, but while we are on the subject of enhance, does anyone know where I/We can find whole chickens that are not "enhanced"? Even Sams has the birds on steroids. I'd love to smoke up some natural chicken for a change...

My local HEB always has two brands of whole birds on display, one is a bit more money, and is natural (not free range organic, but not enhanced either). The other brand is less expensive and definitely pumped up. They are stocked right next to each other in the display cooler.

IMO, if you bought the ribs and there were pre-cut to St. Louis style, most likely there were "enhanced".
I only buy ribs from RD now. I think SAMs full cut are ok, but don't really trust them. wallace

FYI, if you do a google search for "smithfield ribs enhanced", you'll hit a huge amount of info on this. The bottom line, read the label carefully.

is VERY enhanced and will taste hammy. However, as said above, they have an "All Natural" line (says ALL NATURAL in a red label) that is minimally enhance that are fine.

I've never cooked enhanced ribs that I know of, do they look all pink and cured when cooked?
