Mechanically-separated chicken. That is what all fast-food chicken is made from, chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve - bones, eyes, guts, and all. It comes out looking like what you see above.
And since it's crawling with bacteria, it will be soaked in ammonia. Then, because the taste would be bad, it will be re-flavored artificially. Oh, and that gross pink color? They will dye it to look more like what you think you are eating.
Sorry to spoil your lunch.

Actually, according to the detailed ingredients lists at McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's, no mechanically separated chicken is used in their products. Mechanically separated meat is typically used for smooth-textured sausages like hot dogs and sandwich meats like bologna. Mechanically separated meat has to be mentioned as an ingredient in a food product because it can have a higher calcium content than hand-cut meat.
If slaughterhouses didn't extract as much edible meat from the animals, more would have to be slaughtered to maintain the same volume of meat. Using mechanically separated meat for sausages, meat snack sticks, and sandwich bread keeps the cost of those meats down.
But it is patently and provably untrue that the major fast food chains are using this product in their chicken offerings. I just wanted to set the record straight about the uses of mechanically separated chicken and pork. Fast food chicken has its own problems and health issues: one doesn't have to make untrue statements about the ingredients to make fast food chicken a poor dietary choice.

Melissa, I am a bit disappointed in your post. It looks as if your information came from snopes.com, but if you continue reading it explains that certain aspects of what is mentioned above is not true. It might be wise to post the whole article instead of just a teeny portion. While it is very gross, some portions of your post are untrue.

That article isn't entirely accurate. Mechanically separated chicken is a process that removes the meat remaining on a chicken carcass after all of the other meat has been removed. There are no guts, eyes, bones, etc in there at all. A similar process is used to make hot dogs. There's nothing wrong in my opinion in using all of the animal that we've killed for our food. People should be more worried about the chemicals that are in what we eat.
McDonald's chicken nuggets aren't made that way, by the way.
