Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chick-fil-A Spicy Deluxe Sandwich w/ No Cheese represents a poor choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts significantly from its clean food status. The presence of added sugars further diminishes its health quality, with sugar and citric acid contributing to the overall negative assessment.

Moreover, the sandwich includes a range of additives that are considered potentially harmful. Ingredients such as natural flavor, flavor, enriched flour, monoglycerides, soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, modified food starch, and DATEM are all viewed unfavorably in the context of a clean eating diet. The product also contains ingredients that are known to be harmful, such as maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and the artificial color Yellow #6.

The oils used in the sandwich are another cause for concern. Peanut oil, soybean oil, and palm kernel oil are all flagged for their potential health risks and environmental impact, particularly palm oil, which is associated with deforestation and habitat destruction when not sustainably sourced.

The Chick-fil-A Spicy Deluxe Sandwich w/ No Cheese also features a variety of non-organic vegetables and a bun made with both bleached and unbleached enriched flour, which does not align with the principles of clean eating. The inclusion of preservatives and other non-preferred ingredients like butter flavored oil, which contains artificial components, further reduces its suitability for those looking for healthier food choices.

This sandwich receives the lowest possible rating on our scale due to its extensive list of undesirable ingredients and the lack of organic and non-GMO components. For individuals prioritizing clean eating, this product does not meet the criteria for a healthy, environmentally friendly, or clean food option. Those seeking cleaner alternatives should consider other products that better align with the principles of health and sustainability.
