5. TBHQ

McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets are actually cooked in a vegetable oil containing TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone), a chemical preservative as well as a petroleum-based product that can also be found in cosmetic products.

The FDA allows food to contain no more than 0.02% of the oil in one nugget, which is perhaps good, considering that ingesting 1 gram of TBHQ can cause collapse, a sense of suffocation, ear ringing, delirium, nausea, and vomiting, while 5 grams of TBHQ can even kill you. So you may want to consider learning to make your own homemade chicken nuggets instead of consuming harmful ingredients.

6. Sodium Aluminum Phosphate

Sodium aluminum phosphate is a food additive that’s used in the batter of Chicken McNuggets. According to multiple studies published in health pages, sodium aluminum phosphate is possibly linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

Although sodium phosphate has been banned from the ingredient list of the meat part of the nugget, sodium aluminum phosphate, as well as other phosphates, is still being used in the leavening of the McNuggets breaded coating. The difference is only in the purpose of the phosphates.
