Smith’s Chicken

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Smith’s Chicken scores 20/100 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.

Smith’s Chicken lists 14 ingredients, starting with Potatoes, Canola Oil, Sunflower Oil, Maltodextrin and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 20/100 Smith’s Chicken scores worse than most poultry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in poultry is Simply Nature Organic Chicken Nuggets at 70/100.
