Is “Ten Years of Chicken Heads and Arsenic” real?

Answer: Both.

It is rumored that the tip of the chicken wing is the place where the chicken is injected, so there will be antibiotics, hormones and other drug residues. In large-scale farming, antibiotics are used to ensure the safety of chickens, but not on the tips of chicken wings. Even if an injection is given, the drug will quickly spread throughout the body, and then slowly metabolized without affecting consumption.

It is rumored that “the chicken head races against arsenic for ten years”, so many people dare not eat the chicken head and comb, thinking that it is poisonous. In fact, the chicken head does not have the function of dealing with toxins, and it will not accumulate toxins. In a regular breeding environment and chickens fed with feed, there is no need to worry about the problem of toxins. Moreover, the current broiler chickens are very short-lived, and there is no such thing as “ten-year-old chickens”.

As for chicken buttocks, there are indeed two glands on chicken buttocks that are indeed inedible: caudal glands and supraluminal sacs, which may lead to food poisoning if eaten. Generally speaking, the buttocks of commercially slaughtered chickens bought in supermarkets have had these two glands removed, and there is no big problem in eating them when cooked. If the chickens are killed by themselves, it is better to discard the buttocks of the chickens.
