Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

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.

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

Cottonseed Oil

Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.

Disodium Guanylate

Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.

Full Ingredients List:

Cut-up whole chicken, water, bleached wheat flour, wheat flour, modified food starch, salt, wheat gluten, sodium phosphates, canola oil and palm oil, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, methylcellulose, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate), natural flavors (including celery seed), garlic powder, onion powder, soybean oil, spice, propylene glycol, fry in vegetable oil (soybean oil, cottonseed oil, hydrogenated soybean oil).
