anything that has meat products in it cannot be labeled parve.  parve
indicates dairy & meat free (therefore, it can be used with a dairy meal
or with a meat meal).  so, any chicken product wouldn't be parve.

and the person is right - if it is marked kosher, no meat product can
have milk, as milk & meat cannot be mixed in a kosher kitchen/meal.  the
kosher families i know even use different plates for milk vs. meat.

this is also why pop-tarts can be labeled "a milk free food", but can't
be labeled parve - they have gelatin.
