What You Should Know

You'd find these in the frozen kids' aisle or tossed in the cart for a quick weeknight dinner or packed lunch — marketed as a family-friendly, slightly healthier take on classic nuggets with cauliflower and whole grains. The vibe is nostalgic and convenient, offering familiar crunchy breading and uniform shapes; the mix of flours, starches, leavening and reformed chicken hints at industrial processing and a processed convenience product rather than a whole-foods item.
