At Applebee's.....
Chicken tenders contain PORK.
How?

Not really finding any proper answer thru Google.

Also not quite sure the meaning of that triangle symbol. :/

Probably because they're processed in the same facility as pork or something like that.

Are they fried chicken tenderloins or ground chicken like nuggets? If ground, the pork must have been cheaper so they combine the two.

Maybe use pork fat to blend with chicken if it is ground up

Same reason a lot of packaged fruit juices, if you check the ingredient list, have apple juice, even if 'apple' isn't in the name. Apple juice has a mild enough flavor that it can be used as a filler without altering the taste of the juice it's added too.
The world may be going to Hell, but I am personally awash with convenience.

So their chicken does contain trace amounts of pork then?

Thought that triangle symbol meant something else.

Kinda like how hot dogs are made with a combo of beef, pork, and poultry (usually chicken) unless specifically labeled as all beef its no surprise a place like that would be using generic processed meats where something like that exists.

With that being said it looks to me like this is talking about like on their burgers having pork in them which is not unheard of. People use pork in meatballs to add fat and juice. Same way deer meat from a processor typically has pork added otherwise its too lean and gamey.

So its probably being done to make them juicier.

My sister is a wild conspiracy theorist on most everything.

Government control, vaccines, identity tracking implants, etc...

No idea how she became that way but it makes me sad.

Anyway, I guess she's finally right about something. *lol*

It's not really a conspiracy. They state outright the info
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.

If you googled it, I'm sure you saw the Reddit thread suggesting the symbol for the footnote probably should've been on the mac and cheese which may have bacon.

If you check their site, the mac and cheese and chicken tenders does have bacon. I didn't see any obvious pork products in the chicken tender plate or platter. I suppose it's possible there's some pork byproduct in their "natural flavors" but I think it's more likely to be an error on the printed menu.

It means at least that, due to the facility or processes used to make them, they are not kosher or halal.

On a similar note, last week I discovered that some fruit juices contain shellfish. :|
