How we scored it
The KFC Chicken Pot Pie is heavily processed with multiple additives and preservatives, including canola oil, monosodium glutamate, and disodium inosinate, which significantly lower its health score. Despite containing some beneficial ingredients like fresh chicken and vegetables, the high level of processing and presence of harmful ingredients result in a low rating.
