A few things come to mind:
1. Why do they need sugar in chicken nuggets?
2. Corn Flour- something like 80+% of US corn is GMO, and we get corn from too many sources.
3. Though Xantham gum is considered “natural” it is there to make it stick- but doesn’t the egg do that? Plus for those with wheat or gluten allergies should be cautious of ingesting xantham gum. Just another over-processed derivative.
4. Soybean oil- we’re overdoing soybeans like we overdo corn. More and more soybeans are GMO and they’re heavily subsidised. Also another Omega-6 oil that can interfere with Omega-3’s.
5. Citric Acid comes from citrus fruits but another thing that is a derivative instead of natural state. It is used as a meat tenderizer and a preservative. It can cause stomach upset (especially those with IBS).
6. It still is probably the “best” choice out there for non-homemade nuggets. Backup for those days where you’ve got no time for thinking “What to cook?”
