Mysterious Fibers found in McNuggets may be alive

August 22, 2013. Oak Brook, IL. This weekend, the Forensic Food Lab at Natural News announced that after numerous samples and tests, the safe food advocates have repeatedly found mysterious bodies within McDonalds’ popular Chicken McNuggets. But the real news is that these strange fibers and strands resemble living organisms. They look like tiny tape worms.

While viewing the many laboratory photos released by Natural News this weekend of the mysterious fibers found in Chicken McNuggets recently, it’s difficult to tell exactly how small these tiny bodies are. As noted, all images are blown up to 200-times actual size. And enlarged to that extent, the details are amazing as each foreign body appears similar to a foot-long strand of yarn laying on a table. In reality, the strands are described as being smaller than a human hair.

The report and accompanying enlarged lab photos are provided by Natural News’ Health Ranger, Mike Adams. “These new photos, shown below, appear to depict microscopic hairs, fibers or strands of varying colors and shades throughout the McDonald’s Chicken McNugget samples,” Adams reports. Explaining where this particular sample of McNuggets was obtained, the author says, “The Chicken McNuggets were purchased on August 15, 2013 at a McDonald’s restaurant in Austin, Texas.”

Reiterating that there is no evident cause for immediate panic, Mike Adams explains, “These microscopic images of strange fibers in Chicken McNuggets do not mean they are unsafe to consume. But they do raise many questions about the origin of the ingredients used in Chicken McNuggets, and they possibly raise red flags about quality control procedures used in the manufacture of this popular fast food.”

This isn’t the first time we at Whiteout Press have written about McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. In 2011, we exposed what it is exactly that a Chicken McNugget is made of.  Read ‘What’s in a Chicken McNugget?’ to find out. While you’re at it, you may be interested in our accompanying article from 2012, ‘What is McDonald’s McRib Sandwich made of?’

Two prevailing theories

There are two main theories regarding what these mysterious fibers are and where they came from. After viewing the assortment of enlarged laboratory photos, the strands bare a strong resemblance to a couple well-known items – one from the microbiology world, and one from the manufacturing world. Either could theoretically be correct, or it could be something altogether different.

As reported by Natural News while describing one of the photos, ‘Notice that the semi-transparent fiber appears to have a “sheath” surrounding the center portion of the fiber. This seems to indicate the likelihood of a biological origin.’ The author describes another photo saying, ‘Here is an extreme close-up of a black fiber we managed to remove from a Chicken McNugget. Notice that it appears to be segmented. This may indicate it could be made of biological cells connected end to end.’

While the researcher and Natural News Editor suggest these mysterious fibers may be alive, the actual list of ingredients in a Chicken McNugget suggest these strands may be man-made and a byproduct of the manufacturing process. As documented in the above-referenced Whiteout Press article, ‘McNuggets also contain several completely synthetic ingredients, quasi-edible substances that ultimately come not from a corn or soybean field but form a petroleum refinery or chemical plant.’

Another indication that the strands may be the result of manufacturing is the indication that all the samples are roughly the same size and shape. They’re also long and flat, like a ribbon or those long, clear plastic bands that factories use to close, wrap and seal boxes so they don’t break open in transit. More than anything though, they resemble the left-overs of anything that’s been shredded or shaved. They almost look like the shavings one sweeps up from the floor after using a drill press on metal or a hand-drill on a wooden board.
