Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Jimmy Dean Southern Style Chicken Biscuit Snack Size Sandwiches represent the lowest tier on our health-focused evaluation scale. This product falls short in several areas critical to our cleaner food criteria. It is not organic, utilizes genetically modified ingredients, and incorporates multiple forms of added sugars. Furthermore, the ingredient list features a multitude of additives, including artificial flavors and colors, which contribute to the product’s minimal score.

The biscuit component contains enriched wheat flour, artificial butter flavor, and palm oil, which are flagged for their potential health impacts. Additionally, preservatives such as potassium sorbate and DATEM are present, which we consider undesirable. The chicken breast patty includes concerning ingredients like caramel color, a variety of flavor enhancers, and is breaded with a mix set in vegetable oil, further detracting from the product’s nutritional profile.

Our rigorous assessment penalizes the presence of artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup, neither of which align with cleaner eating standards. The use of maltodextrin, a common filler and sweetener, also contributes to the low rating, as it is often sourced from genetically modified corn and can spike blood sugar levels.

The Jimmy Dean Southern Style Chicken Biscuit Snack Size Sandwiches earn a score that reflects a composition rife with processed and synthetic elements. These factors lead us to advise consumers to steer clear of this product in favor of cleaner, more wholesome food choices. The culmination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, harmful oils, and a range of additives underscores the product’s position at the bottom of our rating scale. It is our position that there are more nutritious options available that better serve the health-conscious consumer.
