Chicken Nuggets Are Made From This Pink Goop



Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

  1. Me too. I knew about the ammonia washing, but not the rest of it... I think i'm done with Jack-in-the-Box chicken burgers.
