Applegate Chicken Nuggets

Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Applegate Chicken Nuggets scores 65/100 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.

Applegate Chicken Nuggets lists 15 ingredients, starting with White Meat Chicken, Wheat Flour, Water, Rice Flour and Sea Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Applegate Chicken Nuggets lands mid-scale — below the typical score in frozen foods, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in frozen foods is Straus Family Creamery Organic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at 100/100.
