Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the KFC Menu Chicken Thigh (Extra Crispy) receives the lowest possible score on our website, highlighting our concerns about its ingredient list. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts significantly from its overall healthfulness. The inclusion of added sugars and corn syrup further diminishes its standing, as these ingredients contribute to the unhealthy aspects of the product.
The chicken is marinated with additives such as sodium phosphate and monosodium glutamate (MSG), which are known for their potential adverse health effects. The breading contains additional MSG, corn starch, and various other additives that raise red flags, including natural and spice flavorings that often obscure the true nature of the ingredients. The presence of canola oil, which is processed and may involve trans fats, is another reason for the low rating.
Our rigorous evaluation process deducts points for each non-organic, GMO, and harmful additive ingredient, leading to the final score. This product has not met the standards we advocate for healthier food choices. Consumers looking for cleaner food options would do well to steer clear of this product, given the numerous concerns identified in its ingredients.
The KFC Menu Chicken Thigh (Extra Crispy) exemplifies the type of food product that our website aims to caution against. It is essential for consumers to be aware of what they are eating, and the low green leaf rating serves as a warning. The product contains multiple ingredients that have been associated with negative health impacts, and it lacks the benefits of organic certification and non-GMO verification. As such, it represents a choice that does not align with the pursuit of cleaner, healthier food options.
