The Take
Better Goods Chicken Nuggets are not healthy. They are ultra-processed chicken slurry dressed up with gluten-free marketing that fails to deliver on the 'better' promise.
The brand leans on rice starch and corn flour breading to signal an upgrade, yet the core remains factory-formed meat with additives that do nothing for actual nutrition or digestion.
The Verdict
The identity play here is virtue-signaling parents or celiac shoppers grabbing the 'better' label to feel upgraded. It delivers nostalgia nuggets without the upgrade.
Skip it. Buy real chicken thighs and air fry them yourself.
