Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit falls short on our health-conscious scale. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts significantly from its score. The inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, and the presence of dextrose, a more concerning added sugar, further diminish its rating.
The biscuit contains several potentially harmful additives. Natural flavors, various forms of flavoring, enriched flour, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and sodium citrate are among the ingredients that contribute to its low score. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a known harmful additive, is also present, and its inclusion is a primary factor in the product’s negative evaluation.
Furthermore, the product is made with a range of oils that are considered harmful, including peanut oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and palm-based oils such as vegetable oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil. These ingredients are flagged for their potential health impacts.
The biscuit’s composition reflects a blend of ingredients that do not align with our criteria for cleaner food options. The use of non-organic and GMO ingredients, coupled with the addition of various sugars and harmful additives and oils, positions this product at the lowest possible rating on our scale.
Consumers seeking healthier, cleaner food choices are advised to steer clear of this product. The Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, with its 1/5 green leaf rating, represents a choice that does not meet the standards for those aiming to minimize their intake of processed and potentially harmful components in their diet.
