Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Chick'n Filets

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Chick'n Filets scores 15/100 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. 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.

Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Chick'n Filets lists 21 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Soy Protein Isolate, Canola Oil and Pea Protein Concentrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Chick'n Filets scores worse than most plant-based milks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in plant-based milks is Silk Unsweet Soy Milk at 29/100.
