Sold as "All Natural" and "minimally processed," but it's a NOVA-4 product with ~22 ingredients, two refined oils, added sugar, and yeast extract for a hidden glutamate hit.

Why this verdict

"All Natural" claim on a NOVA-4 product with ~22 ingredients
Yeast extract delivers free glutamate while the box says "no added MSG"
Two refined oils (canola + soybean) plus added sugar in the breading
Corn, rice, and rice starch fillers bulk out the coating
"Minimally processed" is the opposite of what the ingredient list shows
