What You Should Know

Find this in the refrigerated ready-to-cook case at Whole Foods — a pre-marinated chicken breast made for quick weeknight dinners or an easy backyard grill. The olive oil, lemon, honey and herbs give a fresh, wholesome feel and keep the texture tender, while the presence of commercial Dijon and minor additives points to light commercial processing (more processed than raw chicken but not an ultra-processed formulation).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

A fresh chicken breast with added culinary ingredients and commercial condiments qualifies as processed (NOVA 3): it contains minor processed components (prepared Dijon, citric acids, natural flavors) but lacks the industrial ingredients and formulations typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
