1 shells.
2 Q. No, but polystyrene foam?
A. Yes.
3
Q. What about your vegetable McNuggetts?
4 A. They are not on the menu. They may have been in the
past, chicken McNuggetts was packaged in polystyrene, but
5 they have not been for years. Vegetable McNuggetts are
not on the menu.
6
Q. They are not?
7 A. They are not currently.
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Perhaps you are going to amend your
pleadings to say that they should be, I do not know?
9
MISS STEEL: No. I have just had some information to the

the years.
22
Q. But I think you said that those clam shells were made with
23 foam blown with pentane?

26 Q. Are you aware of any draw backs to the use of pentane

Q. If you were aware of any draw backs, would you stop using
30 pentane?
A. If there was something else available to allow me to
