Chicken Strips
What You Should Know
You'd spot these Whole Foods Market Chicken Strips in the hot-prepared foods case or the refrigerated/frozen ready-to-heat aisle — an easy grab for weeknight dinners, kid lunches, or a game-day spread. They feel nostalgic and indulgent (crispy, comfort-food energy), but the seasoned batter, chemical leaveners, flavor extractives and added oils reveal industrial formulation and a uniform crunchy texture typical of highly processed items.

Common Questions about Chicken Strips
Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy'! These strips pack a solid 16 grams of protein per serving, which is great for muscle repair and growth. However, they do contain 920 mg of sodium, so if you're watching your salt intake, you might want to enjoy them in moderation.
