I read how McDonald's Canada aired a commercial to clarify that the brand does not use "pink goop", a rumour that has been going around since a picture of a mystery pink substance first started circulating on the web.
"We don't know what it is or where it came from, but it has nothing to do with our chicken McNuggets", said supply chain manager Nicoletta Stefou.
Pink goo or pink slime also sometimes refers to "lean finely textured beef" - an unappetising and controversial concoction of inedible meat trimmings including cartilage and connective tissue. It is then doused with ammonium hydroxide to kill E. coli and other nasties.
The McDonald's video shows the process from chicken to nugget in full (and excruciating) detail, outlining how the meat is made from ground chicken breast, breading (staple food made from flour), chicken skin, tempura and "some seasonings".
I'm watching the video and suddenly there's this pink stuff in the chicken muck - what? Pink goop in McDonald's chicken nuggets which they have denied? Here's a screenshot of the pink gunk -
The breast is then blended with “seasonings” and chicken skin - Really? It looks effen disgusting...
Those nuggets look so fake.... they just bear no resemblance to real chicken.
Then mixed up "chicken" is battered and covered ...
That looks soo disgusting. I feel sick from just looking at it. Thank goodness I don't eat McDonalds chicken nuggets. Source
