    That's Bone Marrow. The chicken had a bone broken before it was slaughtered.

    Its a natural material and you could of eaten it.

    Nothing to worry about here.

    Yeah that's normal. It's amazing how detached we are from the food we eat, which at one stage were living breathing animals with bones and organs.

    Unless you can find fault with or contradict the explanation of their Quality Assurance Manager as you've quoted, it doesn't seem fair for you to impugn them publicly. The company and their employees have to make a living the same as you and me and deserve to be presumed honest until proven otherwise.

    I'm impressed by the detailed and seemingly accurate response you got.

    Nothing to worry about OP - it's just bone marrow. Good for protein!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,567 ✭✭✭delta_bravo


    It is quite odd to see such an indignant reaction considering the logical and factual response you got OP. Whatever about being shocked to see it at first but after their reply it is ridiculous to discourage people from buying their produce.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Shemale


    Me too, have made plenty of chicken gravy and its always fairly clear.

    Amazed so many here knew what it was, I eat a lot of chicken and never saw this before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    So continue buying Manor Farm Chickens and they actually follow up on their emails from the public. Fair play to them.

    Agree with these.

    Let me get this straight... You complain about a product to the supplier who gave you a detailed response with clear explanation, but you post it here to show everyone else and discourage people to buy from the supplier. Then some random poster reiterates what the supplier told you, so now you think it's grand.

    What exactly were you hoping for when you created this thread?

    I bought a Manor Farm Chicken, cooked it and ate some when I saw what lay in the middle I vommited, looks like a tumour to me

    I contacted Manor Farm and after investigating they came up with this "I spoke to the Quality Assurance Manager on site about this complaint and have concluded the due to the discoloration of the breast meat that this was a case of bone marrow seepage. This can occur when a slight fracture occurs in the chicken bone. In this case it was the breast bone that the bone marrow seepage is showing. When the fracture occurs this allows the bone marrow to seep into the adjacent meat, causing discolouration of the bones and meat. Unfortunately this anomaly only occurs when the chicken is cooked. It has no public health significance."

    Anyway just a heads up, havent bought any of their produce since nor will I in the future

    Go vegan if you're that squeamish.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    How in the hell do lay people know brown marrow turns white chicken red.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    On the plus side Manor farm appears to be an actual farm, unlike many of the various supermarket brands

    In March 2016 Tesco, the UK’s largest retailer, sparked controversy after launching a budget range of seven own-label “farm” brands – including 'Woodside Farms' and 'Boswell Farms' for fruit and veg as well as meat – based on British-sounding but fictitious names. Some foods were imported from overseas and given British names to make them sound local.

    I'd only steak from 'Old Mc Donald's Good Time Countryside Farm and Vineyard'.

    They probably don't. But when a expert tells you what it is, that's generally the answer.
