Crackin' Classic Chicken Tenders — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Crackin' Classic Chicken Tenders by Crackin' Classic TREAT — score 50/90.

Real chicken breast at 68%, but wrapped in a refined-flour, rapeseed-oil breading with a touch of added sugar. Decent protein hiding under a fried-crumb coat.

Why this verdict

• 68% real chicken breast gives genuine protein
• Refined wheat flour breading is the second-biggest component
• Rapeseed oil plus added sugar makes the crumb hyper-palatable
• Salt and yeast extract push the sodium up
• No artificial colors, flavors, or emulsifiers - simple if processed
