Homestyle Chicken & Biscuit Pie
by Sugarloaf Mountain Sunlight Vineyard
A moderately processed frozen meal with real chicken and vegetables but contains concerning additives like carrageenan, palm oil, and aluminum-based leavening agents. While better than ultra-processed frozen dinners, the multiple emulsifiers and industrial ingredients prevent it from being a healthy choice.
