Some of the ingredients, it turns out, seem to belong more to an industrial factory of some kind, not a food retailer. According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG), sodium phosphates and sodium aluminum phosphate. But that's not the freaky part. According to McDonald's own website, Chicken McNuggets are also made with "hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric
acid added to preserve freshness" and "Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent." At least two of these ingredients are artificially synthesized industrial chemicals. TBHQ, a petroleum derivative, is used as a stabilizer in perfumes, resins, varnishes and oil field chemicals. Laboratory studies have linked it to stomach tumors.

No surprise to me.
Spend a few bucks sometime and order some McNuggets. When you get them, cut them open and go through them carefully. It'll make you wonder why you ever ate them in the first place.

I work at mcdonalds, not cooking food but looking after the restaurant, i do the job because it pays my bills. Has anyone every noticed that a chicken mcnugget becomes inedible when cold, i have cooked supermarket nuggets before and that doesnt seem to happen. I think it could be quite possible to injure someone with one if you threw it.
Many vegetables contain silicon since they are plant-based foods. Levels of silicon vary in each vegetable. Some examples of vegetables that contain silicon are asparagus, cabbage, cucumbers, dandelion greens (edible weeds with an intense hearty taste and bitter tinge), lettuce, mustard greens, olives, parsnips, radishes, white onions, corn, sugar beets, bell peppers

They used to be, but are not now.
They're made from whole chicken...cage chickens of course but still chicken.
The anti foaming agent is silicone based....silicone is in everything.
The TBHQ is a preservative for oil and is commonly found in many oils.
As soon as i get another job im parting company with this lot. Apparantly as employees we can visit the farms whenever we like. Shall i go?

McNuggets are, and always have been, globs of compressed meat from various sources. That's gross. When I eat chicken, I expect it to come from ONE chicken. Not ten.
