Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

365 Whole Foods Market Chicken-Style Plant-Based Nuggets scores 48/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

365 Whole Foods Market Chicken-Style Plant-Based Nuggets lists 19 ingredients, starting with Water, Unbleached Enriched Wheat Flour, Soy Protein Concentrate, Wheat Gluten and Expeller Pressed Sunflower Seed Oil.
