What You Should Know

You'd spot this small 5 oz package in the canned/shelf-stable protein aisle or grab it from a pantry for a quick salad, sandwich, or meal-prep boost. It feels practical and health-focused — a no-frills lean protein for busy days or post-workout needs. The short ingredient list (chicken, water, sea salt) and cooked/packed format indicate minimal industrial additives and a firm, whole-muscle texture rather than the reformed textures typical of ultra-processed meats.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Packed chicken with only water and sea salt is cooked and preserved for shelf life, so it is a processed food rather than ultra-processed; the lack of emulsifiers or industrial additives keeps it out of NOVA 4.
