Chicken 'Nuggets' May Not Contain Any Chicken

Warm, bite-sized and sort-of white, they are the favoured fast food of millions of children who believe they are eating chicken.

Twenty-five years after the first boneless, reconstituted chunk was sold to McDonald's by a supplier, the chicken nugget leads sales of "value-added" poultry products.

It is a "McFrankenstein creation", according to the New York judge who, in a court case involving McDonald's last year, identified a long list of nugget ingredients, including "anti-foaming agent".

A large Australian chicken processor describes a nugget as a mouthful of batter, water, soybean (sometimes passing as chicken), skin, fat and - entirely dependent on how much you've paid - chicken meat particles.

In 2002, the Australian Consumers Association tested 14 popular nugget brands. The study found chicken filling often made up less than half of each nugget. Fat per average serve was as high as 31 grams. And none contained real chicken chunks, but "manufactured" or "formed" chicken.

That's exactly why i don't eat at Mc'Niggies for the last 7 years.

Too bad my sister-in-law was feeding my nephews deep fried defoaming agent, soy emulsifier, ambio-diocetyl nodules, and FD&C Yellow #5, and whatever other shit they put in it. Probably rat noses, and cockroach paste.
