Ingredient Score:
Grilled Nuggets from Chick-fil-A receive a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our website, denoting the lowest recommendation for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, which detracts from its overall score. Additionally, the presence of added sugars such as molasses and sugar further reduces its standing.
The ingredient list reveals several potentially harmful additives like natural flavors, xanthan gum, and calcium disodium EDTA. Of particular concern is the inclusion of maltodextrin, a known harmful additive, which significantly impacts the product’s rating. The use of oils like canola and soybean, which we classify as harmful, also contributes negatively to the overall evaluation.
The product contains a high number of non-preferred elements, such as modified corn starch and dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent. While the product may fulfill a desire for a grilled chicken option, its composition does not align with our criteria for clean eating.
Our scoring system is rigorous, deducting points for each ingredient that does not meet the standards of health-conscious consumers. The Chick-fil-A Grilled Nuggets fall short in this respect, accumulating a score that reflects a product that should be avoided by those looking for the cleanest food choices.
The green leaf rating system aims to guide consumers towards healthier, more transparent food selections. The Grilled Nuggets from Chick-fil-A, with a 1/5 green leaf rating, are not recommended based on their ingredient profile, which includes non-organic, GMO components, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and harmful oils. This assessment is rooted in a commitment to offer guidance for cleaner eating in a market where unhealthy options are prevalent.
