Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chick'n Tenders scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Protein, Wheat Gluten, Starch, Water For Hydration)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Modified Starches (Modified Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors From Non-Meat Sources): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 990 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
