What You Should Know

You'll find this in the refrigerated prepared-meats or grab-and-go section at Whole Foods—pre-marinated chicken breasts for quick weeknight dinners, grilling, or meal prep. It feels wholesome and convenient with a fresh, lemon-herb vibe; the whole-muscle texture and short ingredient list point to minimal industrial processing, though the use of prepared Dijon and a commercial marinade ingredients shifts it into a processed (NOVA 3) category rather than fully unprocessed.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Whole-muscle chicken with a simple olive oil–lemon–herb marinade uses culinary ingredients and some prepared condiments (Dijon with additives), so it's processed but not an ultra‑processed formulation.
