What the score is made of

Four categories, weighted. Seed oils count three times as much as plastics or ultra-processing, so a poor seed-oil score pulls the overall number down hardest.

  • Seed oil3× weight0
  • Additives2× weight0
  • Plastics0.5× weight
  • NOVA0.5× weight50

Plastics has no ratings yet and count as 0 toward the overall score — an unproven category isn’t a free pass.

What reviewers said

@Fable_X_Tallow3w ago

Boston Market publishes real per-item ingredient statements and the rotisserie chicken the chain is built on lists canola oil in every cut and every flavour, with the frying oil, the mashed potatoes, the stuffing and every dressing carrying soybean or canola too - 135 of 185 food items in all. 162 of 185 also carry an additive, so the clean order is basically turkey, ham or ribs with a plain vegetable.

Rated from Boston Market's own per-item ingredient statements (nutritionix.com/boston-market/ingredient-search/premium, 192 entries, 185 food). Seed oils: 135 of 185 food items name one, and it starts with the thing the chain is built on - the rotisserie chicken itself lists canola, in every cut and every flavor (plain, Parmesan Rotisserie, Roasted Garlic & Herb, Honey Balsamic Basil, Sesame, Creamy Garlic). Frying Oil is canola and soybean, Mashed Potatoes list hydrogenated soybean oil, and Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Cornbread, Stuffing, Sweet Potato Casserole, Meatloaf and every dressing carry soybean, canola or palm. No swap offered. What is clean: turkey breast, ham, prime rib, ribs, wings, mac and cheese, creamed spinach, the cheeses and the plain vegetables. You can eat around it, but not if you order the chicken. Additives: 162 of 185 food items carry at least one.
