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.
