What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated prepared foods or deli section as a grab-and-go protein for salads, sandwiches, or meal-prep—ideal for busy weekdays or post-workout bowls. It reads clean and paleo-friendly, giving a wholesome, practical vibe with a lightly grilled, tender texture. The short ingredient list (chicken, olive oil, salt, black pepper) suggests it’s cooked and packaged with minimal reformulation, not an ultra-processed formulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product uses whole-food ingredients and lacks industrial additives, so it isn’t ultra-processed; however, because it is cooked/grilled and packaged with added oil and salt, it fits the NOVA 3 (processed foods) category rather than NOVA 1.
