McDonald’s wants to take some of the mystery ingredients out of Chicken McNuggets. The world’s biggest hamburger chain says it is testing an artificial preservative-free version of Chicken McNuggets, which have practically become synonymous with hyper-processed foods since they were introduced in the 1980s. The company says it began testing the new recipe in about 140 stores in Oregon and Washington in March.
