Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Moderate Caution

Soybean Oil

A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Full Ingredients List:

cooked chicken white meat, dressing (soybean oil, water, honey, cider vinegar, sugar, egg yolks, cultured dextrose, distilled vinegar, corn syrup, egg whites, salt, poppy seeds, lemon concentrate, xanthan gum, nisin preparation (nisin, salt), spice, extractives of paprika), celery , dried cranberries (cranberries, sugar, sunflower oil), pecans, textured soy protein

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Chicken Salad truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 55/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Corn Syrup. A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 11g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 3 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Chicken Salad achieves a CakeID Score of 55/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.
