Perdue Lightly Breaded Chicken Nuggets are breaded chicken patties made from boneless chicken breast with rib meat, coated in a light breading and seasoned with various additives.
The nutrition facts reveal that each nugget contains 180 calories, 10 grams of fat (2 of which are saturated), and 420 mg of sodium, making it relatively high in sodium and moderate in protein. However, the added sugars and lack of fiber suggest it is not particularly nutritious, and the presence of artificial flavors and colorings may further impact its health profile.
Given the presence of processed ingredients like unbleached wheat flour, yeast extract, salt, sugar, and other additives, this product falls into the processed category due to its breading and added chemicals. While it provides some protein, the sodium content and lack of fiber make it less than an ideal choice for a balanced diet.
For a healthier alternative, consider choosing fresh or grilled chicken without the breading, which would be lower in sodium and sugar, and higher in essential nutrients.
