Chicken Nuggets

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

ASDA Chicken Nuggets scores 27/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 15g protein and 1g sugar. 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.

ASDA Chicken Nuggets lists 23 ingredients, starting with Chicken Breast, Fortified Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate and Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

276 kcal per serving, or 276 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores ASDA Chicken Nuggets on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 27/100 ASDA Chicken Nuggets scores worse than most poultry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in poultry is Simply Nature Organic Chicken Nuggets at 70/100.
