Tag: Vegan chicken nuggets

Over 9.7 million Americans now follow a plant-based diet, leading to a surge in vegan product innovation. So, while traditional chicken nuggets are strictly off-limits, can vegans eat chicken nuggets made from plant-based ingredients? Yes, thanks to a booming market of meat-free alternatives.

In the 1950s, the original chicken nugget recipe included milk powder. Today's commercial and fast-food versions vary. It is a common misconception that all chicken nuggets are dairy-free, but this is not always the case. Inspecting the ingredient list is necessary, as hidden milk-based ingredients are common.
