Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and deliciously aromatic, the golden, fried chicken nuggets from fast food restaurants always whet the appetite. However, behind the enticing appearance of chicken nuggets lies many unknown secrets. Perhaps after watching the documentary "The Secret of Chicken Nuggets," you will have a different perspective when facing a plate of delicious chicken nuggets! To uncover the enticing secrets of chicken nuggets, a French production company decided to shoot the documentary "The Secret of Chicken Nuggets" to discover the mysteries behind them. However, when they began filming, the production team discovered that gaining access to chicken nugget production factories was as difficult as stealing state secrets. Throughout France, major manufacturers producing chicken nuggets almost unanimously refused to allow them to film. Nonetheless, they persisted, changing their approach to collect various commercially available chicken nuggets from supermarkets and large stores, which were then sent to the laboratory for analysis, yielding unexpected results. The documentary clearly shows that the fiber texture of many chicken nuggets in cross-section looks completely different from the images on the packaging. The lab director emphatically stated, "This is restructured meat!" What is restructured meat? How does it differ from whole chicken nuggets? The production team captured the truth about restructured meat at a chicken cutting factory in Belgium. Whole chickens are cut into prime parts like breast, thighs, and wings, while the leftover bones are not thrown into the trash but sent to a processing plant, where they are mechanically crushed, extracting the leftover meat bits and forming them into a paste. However, the paste lacks any chicken flavor, prompting manufacturers to add various additives such as phosphates, red alga gel, pea flour, and brine. These substances help restore the appearance of chicken nuggets, deceiving consumers while also increasing weight and enhancing profit margins. Compared to restructured meat, another more deadly secret of chicken nuggets is the "magic formula" of chicken producers and also the "invisible killer" for consumers: antibiotics. To understand the truth, the production team flew to Brazil. Brazilian chicken is affordable and produced at a rate of 13 million tons annually, making it the third-largest chicken supplier globally. Their money-making secret is antibiotics. But don't get it wrong; these antibiotics are not used for treating diseases. They are used to help chickens grow faster, stronger, and heavier—resulting in higher profits. However, the problem arises when the excessive use of antibiotics leads to chickens developing drug resistance, creating untreatable super bacteria that eventually end up in consumers' stomachs. In the United States alone, two million people are infected annually with untreatable bacteria. The World Health Organization has indicated that antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become one of the most serious public health issues globally.
