I don't understand why you think you wouldn't be able to eat them? It is just cooked chicken, isn't it?

I can’t see why not. I would.

Well yes but they taste like dog treats.
They're cooked mechanically recovered meat and preservatives. No different to eating a meal deal sandwich or something. Or a pepperami.

They're not harmful other than not being very healthy. Why would they be?

Thankyou all, i just worry i’ve had a misscarrige before so im trying to be good with my eating and everything but i just overthink too much lol. I know it seems like a silly question but it scares me at the thought of eating something i shouldn’t. Thankyou x

It’s shit food, but no more shit for you if you’re pregnant.

It’s chicken ffs

No, mechanically recovered chicken eyelids and toenails don’t pose an increased threat to a pregnant woman.
