I wonder if she wanted BBQ sauce, honey mustard or sweet and sour?
This is what is in Chicken McNuggets

With anhydrous ammonia one can get much lower temperatures than with freon. Just like your refrigerator that you use to store food. Ammonium hydroxide is in the refrigeration coils used in the freezer; it doesn't touch the food.
I didn't read the whole thing but the following BS was interesting to someone who had been involved with the management of food processing:"....Next, they add ammonium hydroxide to kill the bacterial and then they add anhydrous ammonia for refrigeration purposes."Obviously the guy has an "ax to grind" and is trying to create a big scare. The ammonium hydroxide is not to kill the bacteria: it is for pH adjustment to hit the required level for taste. The anhydrous ammonia is used in the refrigeration process for most food companies.

If I see a couple of lies, I tend to just not pay attention to the rest of of the article.
The food processing plants have a rigid set of government requirements that they have to follow, and prove that they are following them. Most of these plants have government inspectors (US Dept. of Agriculture) on permanent duty at the plants making their own evaluations and the food production plants have full staffs of chemists, microbiologists and other quality control people working every shift. A food company can not open the door without a QC program that has passed government approval.
The US has a top rated food processing industry that is the envy of the world.
Don't believe everything you read on the net. Don't even believe me. Do a little investigating, and you will find out the truth.
I don't know what type of food plant I have not been in, but I have visited several a week for many decades. The requirements that they have to pass are beyond what most people would imagine. The requirements for cleaning and a consistent product are rigid. Proving compliance to the government is a necessary tool of many industries.
Enjoy your Chicken McNuggets, if you like them. Once in a while I eat them, but I like Windy's better.
To each his own.
