Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Blackened Chicken Breast scores the lowest on our scale for cleaner food options. This pre-packaged deli meat is not certified organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, factors that significantly reduce its rating on our site.
The product contains added sugars, specifically sugar and dextrose, which are ingredients our guidelines flag as detrimental. The presence of these sugars contributes to the product’s low score, as we prioritize items with natural, unrefined sweeteners or those free from added sugars altogether. Furthermore, the inclusion of additives like natural flavors and caramel color raises concerns. While ‘natural flavors’ is a broad term that can encompass a range of substances, it is often a placeholder for undisclosed ingredients that may not align with cleaner eating principles. Caramel color, a coloring agent, is another point of contention due to its potential health implications, leading us to advise caution.
Moreover, the product contains carrageenan, an additive used to thicken and stabilize foods. Although derived from seaweed, carrageenan has been linked to digestive issues and inflammation in some studies, warranting its classification as a known harmful additive on our platform.
The composition of the Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Blackened Chicken Breast suggests that it falls short of the cleaner food standards we endorse. The presence of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and questionable additives like carrageenan and caramel color contribute to its minimal green leaf rating. Our assessment aligns with our mission to guide consumers towards healthier and more natural food choices, and based on our criteria, this product is recommended to be avoided for those seeking cleaner, less processed food options.
