Breading set in vegetable oil.

The breadsticks are whole grain, the corn is frozen and the fruit is fresh.

You all know how I feel about Tyson and the whole concept of the chicken nugget. But, I will say that we do not serve this nearly as much as other districts.   The key is getting our kids to eat and love only real chicken and then they won't buy them anymore ! Supply and demand - simple.
