Careful what you purchase from FLM.

Recently I purchased CRUMBED CHICKEN- Tender chicken piece coated in a crisp crumb. (This was the description on the front of the packet) A debate at home ensued, with my husband saying that this was clearly not chicken pieces. The texture was not like chicken! So the packaging was salvaged from the bin so we could see if it contained anything else. At the bottom (facing down) in the tiniest of lettering the contents were printed. Chicken. Panko breadcrumbs. Tapioca flour. Raising agents. Salt. Emulsifier. Vegetable fat(palm fruit??) Stabilizer. VitaminCJ… nowhere was given the percentages of these contents!! Then the contents of the batter on these “chicken pieces “ followed. Preservatives, soya, maize rusk?? And so the list continued. Horrific to say the least!! This was not a cheap product mind you. I took it, the package weighed 500 grams. Nowhere did the weight appear. I paid fifty rand for that!! Disgusting!! Label it correctly: disguised processed chicken meat.
