Summary
This product is considered ultra-processed due to the inclusion of a solution containing dextrose, which is a simple sugar that can elevate blood sugar levels. While the primary ingredient is chicken, the processing level and the presence of added sugars reduce its overall healthiness. The use of vinegar and salt in the solution is common for flavor and preservation, but the ultra-processing nature limits its score.
