The colorful past of processed chicken
Posted by staff / October 4, 2010
It’s pink, it’s puffy and it’s what eventually turns into your five-piece chicken nuggets, that spicy chicken sandwich and pretty much anything that can be shaped from this goo called mechanically-separated chicken.
What looks like a new strawberry Dairy Queen special is actually what a whole – yes, whole – chicken looks like once it’s been pressed through a sieve. You wouldn’t want a spoonful of this bacteria-laden brew before it has had its ammonia bath and rinse, though, which makes it squeaky clean and tasteless. Throw in a dash of artificial flavoring and a whole lot of artificial coloring, and there you have it!
Yum, just like Grandma used to make it.

It may be disgusting, but it’s not a whole chicken "pressed through a sieve" and it doesn’t get an "ammonia bath." Congrats for perpetuating a misleading meme, Kaw. http://bit.ly/ajty7c
