Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Sainsbury's British Medium Whole Chicken scores 36/100 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.

Sainsbury's British Medium Whole Chicken lists 5 ingredients, starting with British Chicken, Brown Sugar, Dextrose, Salt and Stabiliser: Sodium Triphosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 36/100 Sainsbury's British Medium Whole Chicken scores worse than most poultry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in poultry is Simply Nature Organic Chicken Nuggets at 70/100.
