What You Should Know

You'd spot this 14.7 oz Amy's Organic Medium Chili in the canned soups/chili or natural foods aisle — a convenient pantry grab for a speedy weeknight meal, storm prep, or a camp stove dinner. It reads wholesome and comforting with recognizable ingredients and tofu chunks, but as a shelf-stable, ready-to-eat packaged meal with added oil and sweet rice flour for texture and stability it bears hallmarks of industrial processing common to NOVA 4 products.

Common Questions about Organic Medium Chili, 14.7 OZ

The Organic Medium Chili is certainly on the healthier side, especially if you're looking for a quick meal option. With high protein (16g) and fiber (9g) content, it can keep you feeling full longer. Of course, 'healthy' is relative — it’s a great choice compared to many canned soups, but if you're watching your sodium intake, just keep an eye on that 680mg per serving.
