Sainsbury's Chinese style chicken curry

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Sainsbury's Chinese style chicken curry scores 5/100 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 Chinese style chicken curry lists 40 ingredients, starting with Water, Long Grain Rice, Pasteurised Egg, Onion and Peas. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Sainsbury's Chinese style chicken curry scores worse than most frozen meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in frozen meals is Amy's Spinach & Ricotta Cheese Ravioli Bowl at 92/100.
