Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the KFC Menu Pot Pie falls at the bottom of the scale for cleaner food options. This assessment is based on the product’s extensive list of ingredients, which includes several elements that raise concerns from a health perspective.

The pot pie is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, detracting from its overall score. Added sugars such as sugar and citric acid contribute to the reduction of points, while the presence of dextrose and corn syrup further diminishes its standing. These types of sugars are often associated with negative health effects when consumed in excess.

Furthermore, the product contains a variety of additives that are considered potentially harmful. Natural flavors, unspecified flavorings, diglycerides, enriched flour, silicon dioxide, and potassium sorbate are among these ingredients. The inclusion of known harmful additives such as sodium benzoate, maltodextrin, and monosodium glutamate further impacts the product’s rating negatively. These substances have been linked to adverse health effects in some studies.

Additionally, the use of oils such as canola, palm kernel oil, and palm oil is another factor that affects the product’s score. These oils are often heavily processed and may have environmental and health implications that are concerning to some consumers.

The KFC Menu Pot Pie is a product that contains a long list of ingredients, some of which are associated with health risks and environmental concerns. The use of GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and oils deemed harmful contributes to its low rating. Therefore, the product is not recommended for those seeking cleaner and healthier food options.
