The chemicals: water, salt, rice starch, sugar, vegetable oil, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, sodium triphosphate
Nothing concerning in that list, although the last two sound scary when if don't know what they are
Chemicals in this case is another one of those vague amorphous things to be scared of, right up until you know what it is... Could be anything really, baking soda, 5G mind control powder, dusted Bin Laden, your aunties fingernails.
Everything in the world is chemical, including all your natural GMO free organic foods, got that adenosine triphosphate, cellulose, chlorophyll, dihydrogen monoxide.
Gonna go around scaring people by telling them I've been buying skewered avian carcasses to eat instead of beef, and showing them a rotisserie chicken.
salt, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, potato dextrin, carrageenan, sugar, dextrose, and undisclosed spice extractives.
Used in instant puddings, seafood, poultry, and dairy products to improve texture, emulsion, and stability. It is used to enhance protein solubility and moisture retention in pet food.
Functions as a cleaner and dispersant in paint, textiles, and water treatment. It acts as a surfactant in detergents.

Sodium Triphosphate: Industrial Uses: Primarily used in detergents to soften water, in water treatment, and as a stabilizer in industrial processes. Food Industry: Used in processed foods to improve texture, act as an emulsifier, and retain moisture in seafood (e.g., shrimp).
Why not just roast a chicken with some herbs, I can definitely taste that shit.
