## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says chicken And rice but the ingredients say chicken fat. Is there any chicken?**
A: The rendered chicken fat is just part of what makes the sauce. If you look at the ingredients all the way at the bottom under the contents for the chicken, it says chicken meat. I can attest to the fact that these meals are of good quality, and this particular meal does indeed contain pieces of chicken, not just fat.

**Q: Has anyone else not received their order from this seller?**
A: Should be the same
