Applegate Naturals CHICKEN & MAPLE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This chicken and maple breakfast sausage is ultra-processed, which limits its health score despite containing chicken as a high-quality protein source. The presence of refined cane sugar and natural maple flavor contributes to its processing level, and the added sugars can impact health negatively if consumed in excess. While it lacks harmful additives like artificial dyes or seed oils, the processing level and sugar content are significant factors in its rating.
