    It’s a vein, nothing to worry about

    It’s an artery. Gross looking but it won’t hurt you

    Some type of vessel. Possibly an artery or vein.

    I cut those off of grocery store chicken tender cuts all the time. They just look icky

    Muscular walled tube like that looks like an artery. Vein walls are much thinner.

    I hate touching raw chicken so much 😭 the fact it looks like a worm makes me so queasy

  9. Brother this animal was ALIVE. What do you think it is?? It’s an artery

    It’s a vein but falls in the category of “icky chicky”

  11. Late to the party, but this is a trachea (not artery or vein).

    Its definitely an esophagus***. You can tell by the slightly larger balooned area, which is a type of pregastric, mechanical digestion area!

    To compensate for my previous misstype, i’ll give you a small factoid: most widely commercialized meat chickens never get to adulthood, they are considered chicks and are processed at around 45-60 days of age, some reaching 90days, still being considered chicks at that time. This happens because after that window, they consume more than what is considered worth in grams of meat. In animals that small, veins will rarely be visible (not only do they not have enough cartilage in them to keep their lumen open like this), and arteries would be a very rare find (most likely still not as thick of a lumen, and not as stiff as that esophagus).

    Also, this isn’t considered a gross mistake, but you might be elligible for a refund as organs and viscera are usually destined for scraps or low grade meat products (pet food, for example); it’s a production line mistake, they might compensate you for their lack of precision during the sorting
