Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Tyson Popcorn Chicken scores 40/100 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. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 14g protein and 0g sugar. 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.

Tyson Popcorn Chicken lists 13 ingredients, starting with White Meat Chicken, Wheat Flour, Water, Brown Sugar and Dried Garlic. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

210 kcal per serving, or 244 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Tyson Popcorn Chicken on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 40/100 Tyson Popcorn Chicken scores worse than most poultry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in poultry is Jennie-O Ground Turkey at 100/100.
