365 by Whole Foods Market, Plant Based Chicken Chunks, 8 Ounce
What You Should Know
You'd find these plant-based chicken chunks in the refrigerated or frozen meat-alternative aisle at Whole Foods, grabbed for quick weeknight dinners, salads, or kid-friendly swaps. They give a convenient, comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe—like familiar chicken chunks reimagined as a vegan option. The ingredient list (soy protein isolate, yeast extract, natural flavors, xanthan gum, emulsified oils) and high sodium show heavy industrial reformulation to mimic chicken texture and taste, consistent with ultraprocessed products.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Plant Based Chicken Chunks, 8 Ounce
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These chunks pack a punch with 43 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber per serving, which is great for satiety. However, they do contain canola oil and are high in sodium, so if you're watching your salt intake or oil consumption, you might want to enjoy these in moderation.
