Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club with American cheese is a product that falls short of the cleaner food options that health-conscious consumers seek. This sandwich is not organic, and it is not made with non-GMO ingredients, which detracts significantly from its overall health score. The presence of added sugars, including molasses and sugar, further diminishes its standing, while the inclusion of dextrose—considered a more harmful added sugar—adds to the concerns.
The ingredient list reveals a number of potentially harmful additives, such as natural flavors, enriched flour, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium EDTA, sodium citrate, and cornstarch. These components are commonly used in food processing but are flagged for their potential negative health impacts. Moreover, the product contains known harmful additives like caramel color, propylene glycol, sodium nitrite, and sodium benzoate, which are recognized for their adverse effects and contribute to the low rating.
The sandwich also includes oils that are considered harmful, specifically canola and soybean oil. These oils are often processed and may contain trans fats, which are linked to various health issues. The combination of these ingredients results in a product that is far from the ideal of clean eating.
The Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club with American cheese, therefore, is not recommended for those seeking healthier food options. Its composition of non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, potentially harmful and known harmful additives, along with harmful oils, aligns it with products that do not support a clean eating lifestyle. The 1/5 green leaves rating reflects a clear stance: there are better choices available for consumers aiming to maintain a diet focused on health and wellness.
