Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chick-fil-A Honey Pepper Pimento Sandwich with Chick-fil-A® Filet is one of the lowest-ranked options for those seeking cleaner food choices. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients. It features added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, which detract from its overall healthfulness.
The ingredient list reveals the presence of several additives that may be of concern to health-conscious consumers. Natural flavors, enriched flour, monoglycerides, soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, malic acid, corn starch, and DATEM are among the components that contribute to the product’s low score. Moreover, it contains sodium benzoate and monosodium glutamate, which are recognized as potentially harmful additives.
As for oils, the sandwich includes peanut oil, soybean oil, and palm kernel oil, which are considered less desirable by those aiming for a cleaner diet. The use of these oils further impacts the product’s rating negatively.
The Chick-fil-A Honey Pepper Pimento Sandwich does not align with the objectives of providing cleaner food options. Its composition includes a range of non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients that are flagged by our scoring system as detracting from a healthful profile. Consumers seeking cleaner, more wholesome foods may find this product to be inconsistent with their dietary goals and values.
The comprehensive evaluation of the ingredients and the production standards of this food item leads to the recommendation to avoid it in favor of cleaner, more natural alternatives. The 1/5 green leaf rating signifies that it falls short of the standards set for healthier food choices, and those with a preference for such options should consider other products that better meet these criteria.
