WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Laura J. Martin, MDMay 4, 2010 -- Chicken nuggets may be a hit with kids and some adults, but for the most part, their nutritional value is minimal, says a new investigation by Consumer Reports Health.
What’s more, many brands make claims that are misleading, using terms like “whole grain,” “all natural,” or “organic” -- which make some people think of the little chicken bites as healthy dinner choices, Consumer Reports Health says.
But whether store-bought or purchased from McDonald’s or other fast food establishments, chicken nuggets pack a wallop of fat and sodium, the publication says in a news release.
