Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Kroger Chicken Strips scores 14/100 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, 13g protein and 0g 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.

Kroger Chicken Strips lists 18 ingredients, starting with Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast With Rib Meat, Wheat Flour, Water, Cocoa Powder and Dried Garlic. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

200 kcal per serving, or 238 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kroger Chicken Strips on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 14/100 Kroger Chicken Strips scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amylu Organic Chicken Meatballs at 97/100.
