Is that a fake?

We receive inquiries about a post about a foreign body in a chicken nugget. According to an interview on Hamburg1, the customer assumed it was a worm, but consumer protection investigations showed that it was a vein.

McDonald's has also already commented:

Chicken breast meat is used for our Chicken McNuggets. After processing in the meat grinder, the chicken is formed into the typical nugget shape, seasoned, pre-cooked and coated in a breadcrumb coating. The nuggets are pre-fried at the supplier and then flash-frozen immediately afterwards. They are delivered to our restaurants in a deep-frozen state, where they are kept in the deep-freeze warehouse and ready to be prepared as required without first thawing in vegetable oil. Throughout the processing of our raw products, we take samples that are examined in laboratories. Only if the quality meets our high standards will they be released for further processing. In addition, the meat is checked again during processing for species-specific but undesirable components (such as feathers, cartilage and bone parts) and these are removed if necessary. X-ray systems are used here, among other things.

We are aware of the case mentioned and have since forwarded it to our supplier for review. He confirmed to us that it was a vein. Basically, veins are completely removed from the meat during the slaughtering process. This is checked by our suppliers, among other things, during the incoming goods inspection. Despite the high quality standards of McDonald's and its suppliers, in this unfortunate individual case, a vein was probably not included in the inspection. Our franchisee has informed the guest of this in the meantime and would also like to offer to show him McDonald's high quality standards again during a tour of his restaurant.

The franchisee has already contacted the guest, which would actually settle the issue.
However, it is expected that the post will be circulating on social networks for several decades to come.

We're also kind of waiting for it to be picked up by one of our favorite sites, which site that is, we leave to the imagination of our readers.
