    LOL @ all of those coments!

    All I was saying is that their nuggets were better than they are now.

    They were better than other brands. I didn't mean they were good.

    There are far worse things that you can eat/feed your kids. This was travel food.

    I probably have them once a week....however their breaksfasts possibly more often!

    I don't mind Mcdonald Chicken Nuggets, they're ok and I believe they have a sign up saying they are made with 100% chicken breast meat these days(which asks questions about what used to be in them). The extra's like celery are probably linked to the batter, I wonder if that means they count as one of your 5 a day?

    No they don't. It is chicken breast. I have actually had one with the bone still in which proved it. It would be illegal for them to use MRM without displaying the fact:

    "Chicken McNuggets are made from deboned chicken breast meat, which is then minced. A flavoured marinade is then added and mixed in. The minced chicken meat is shaped into McNuggets and coated with the specially seasoned batter, flash fried and frozen. The McNuggets are supplied to the restaurants frozen, and then cooked from frozen in a blend of non-hydrogenated sunflower and rapeseed oil"

    It will be celery salt. Quite a common in cooking.

    EDIT: It is celery powder according to the ingredients and hardy a cause for concern.
