McDonald's reveal EXACTLY what is in their chicken nuggets (note: it's not pink goop)



The 'pink goop' image first appeared in 2010

It purported to show the chicken mix used in McDonald's McNuggets

The fast food giant has moved to dispel the 'pink goop' once and for all with a behind-the-scenes look inside their nugget factory in Cargill, Canada

The clip shows the start-to-finish process of making the snacks

It's an image that has never gone away since it was first circulated in 2010 - a huge pouring of synthetic pink soft serve-like matter falling into a cardboard box that was purportedly the filling on McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.

And, despite announcements time and time again the ubiquitous image of pink goop had nothing to do with McDonald's, the fast food giant continues to try to dispel the myth.

This week the world's largest restaurant chain released a video that was filmed inside one of their nugget factories in Cargill, Canada.

It purports to detail the start-to-finish process of how McDonald's manufactures their best-selling snacks.
