Brand: Kirkland Signature

Munch or Dump rates Kirkland Signature Rotisserie Chicken by Kirkland Signature OKAY — score 70/90.

Whole chicken is the real base here, delivering about 22g of protein per 100g at a famously low price. But it is injected with a saltwater brine carrying sodium phosphate, modified starch, and carrageenan, which drives sodium up. Great protein, moderately processed. Buy it, just mind the salt.

Why this verdict

Whole chicken is the first ingredient, genuine high-quality protein
About 22g protein per 100g
Injected brine adds sodium phosphate, carrageenan, and modified starch
Sodium runs high from the seasoning solution

Ingredients (8)

Whole Chicken (safe) — Real muscle meat and the dominant ingredient; excellent protein.
Water (safe) — The base of the drink. Neutral.
Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; the only reason to watch portions if you are sodium-sensitive.
Sodium Phosphate (caution) — Industrial water-binder; excess phosphate is a cardiovascular/kidney concern.
Modified food starch (potato, tapioca) (moderate) — Binder that helps hold the injected water in the meat.
Carrageenan (caution) — Thickener linked to gut irritation in some studies.
Sugar and dextrose (safe) — Trace sweeteners for flavor balance, minimal quantity.
Spice extractives (safe) — Concentrated seasoning flavor.
