Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Perdue Fully Cooked Panko Breaded Chicken Breast Patties fall short of the cleaner food options many consumers seek. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, factors that significantly reduce its standing on our scale. The presence of added sugars, such as brown sugar and sugar, further detracts from its score. More concerning is the inclusion of dextrose, a form of sugar that poses a greater risk to health.
The product also contains several potentially harmful additives. Among these are natural flavors, which, despite their benign name, often consist of undisclosed chemical mixtures that raise questions about their safety. Corn starch, used as a thickening agent, is another ingredient that leads to deductions due to its highly processed nature and potential GMO origin.
Soybean oil is the harmful oil present in this product. It is often highly processed and may contribute to inflammation due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content. The use of soybean oil is a significant factor in the product’s low rating.
This product’s ingredient list reveals a reliance on processed and genetically modified components, along with added sugars and questionable additives. These elements are at odds with the goal of providing cleaner, healthier food choices. Consumers looking for minimally processed and more natural options would do well to steer clear of this product. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with these values, or rather, the lack thereof. It stands as a clear indicator that this chicken patty product does not meet the standards for those seeking cleaner, more wholesome food items.
