Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Burger King Tendergrill® Chicken Filet stands at the lowest tier of our cleaner food options scale. This score reflects the presence of multiple ingredients that raise concerns about the product’s healthfulness and environmental impact.
The Tendergrill® Chicken Filet is not organic, and it contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Both factors contribute to its low rating. Added sugars in the form of sugar, citric acid, and fructose further diminish its score, considering the well-documented health risks associated with high sugar consumption.
The ingredient list also includes several additives that we have identified as potentially harmful. These include artificial flavors and xanthan gum—a thickening agent that, while generally recognized as safe, is often derived from soy, corn, or wheat, which may be of concern to those avoiding GMOs or with specific allergies. Known harmful additives like maltodextrin, which has been linked to spikes in blood sugar levels, contribute to the negative assessment.
Moreover, the product contains soybean oil, an ingredient we have classified as a harmful oil due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content, which can potentially contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess.
The presence of these ingredients suggests that the Tendergrill® Chicken Filet does not align with our commitment to promoting cleaner, healthier food options. Consumers seeking out food that supports their well-being and the environment may find this product does not meet their standards.
The low green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator of the product’s standing within our evaluation system. It reflects our emphasis on transparency and informed choices in the food market, where we prioritize products that adhere to higher standards of health and environmental responsibility.
