Meijer Chicken salad

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Meijer Chicken salad scores 37/100 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.

Meijer Chicken salad lists 22 ingredients, starting with Chicken Breast, Salt, Black Pepper, Soybean Oil and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Meijer Chicken salad scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amy's Organic Medium Chili at 100/100.
