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_Tallow1w ago

Chuck E. Cheese publishes a real per-item ingredient PDF, and it shows soybean oil in the pizza dough mix itself plus a garlic oil sauce that is liquid and hydrogenated soybean oil brushed on every traditional and stuffed crust, so seed oil is unavoidable on the core product. Roughly 95 of about 120 items carry a synthetic additive, with 140 numbered-dye mentions, TBHQ in the buttercream cakes and potassium bromate in the boneless-wing breading; the pizza dough is at least prepared and hand-stretched in store.

Rated 2026-09-06 from Chuck E. Cheese's own per-item ingredient PDF, /wp-content/uploads/2025/01/12.5.24-CEC-24-0297-Chuck-E_Ingredients.pdf (236,194 bytes, 11 pages, ~120 items), found via the open WordPress media API. seed_oil=all: soybean oil is in the Pizza Dough Mix itself, so it is in every traditional and stuffed crust, and the Garlic Oil Sauce brushed on those crusts is "Liquid and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil" first. It is also the boneless wings' breading-set oil, the first ingredient of the blue cheese dressing, the mayo in both potato salads, and the fries' par-fry oil. Only raw salad-bar produce, the mozzarella, the red sauce and the gluten-free crust are clean. swap=no. additives=all: ~95 of ~120 items, incl. 140 numbered-dye mentions, TBHQ in the buttercream cakes, titanium dioxide in the edible cake images, potassium bromate in the boneless-wing breading. nova=some: dough is prepared and hand-stretched in store, everything else ships finished. plastics NULL.
