Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Trader Joe's Organic Kale Chicken Caesar Salad scores 62/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Trader Joe's Organic Kale Chicken Caesar Salad lists 7 ingredients, starting with Kale, Grilled Chicken Breast, Ciabatta Croutons, Parmesan Cheese and Caesar Dressing. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 62/100 Trader Joe's Organic Kale Chicken Caesar Salad lands mid-scale — below the typical score in poultry, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in poultry is Simply Nature Organic Chicken Nuggets at 70/100.
