Comminuted is actually a term which means bone broken or splintered. I purchased 100's of thousands of pounds of comminuted chicken from a Boston processor. The machine used was called a Behive press. It takes the leftover carcasses and presses like a grinder against a fine grinder plate(screen) and out comes this mudlike material. In the process, the bones get broken and squashed and and meat and marrow gets pushed through the screen.
If you look on the Kayem Schonland brand ingredient label you will find the third meat is mechanically separated chicken, which I have described as comminuted. I was in Hanaford last night and bought a 1 lb tray pack of the Kayem nc franks and found that the price per lb is now the same. The choice is easy for me.
