Washington Chicken Breading Mix — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Washington Chicken Breading Mix by Washington TREAT — score 45/90.

Refined bleached flour is the backbone of this fried-chicken coating. Simple and short, but it's white flour you bread and deep-fry, not a wholesome ingredient.

Why this verdict

• Enriched bleached white flour is the #1 ingredient, refined and stripped of fiber
• Designed as a deep-fry coating, so it rides along with fried-food fat and calories
• Simple, short list with no artificial colors, MSG, or added sugar keeps it from being engineered
