Copilot Summary:

On a health scale of 1–10 (10 being great), Piller’s Cooked Chicken Breast 200 g would rate around 7/10.

Bottom Line:
This product is marketed as extra lean, high in protein, and gluten-free, which makes it a better option than many processed deli meats. However, the ingredient list reveals salt, carrageenan, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. These additives, especially nitrites and phosphates, are linked to potential long-term health concerns such as increased cancer risk and kidney strain. The sodium content is 590 mg per 55 g serving (26% of daily value), which is quite high and could contribute to hypertension if consumed regularly. On the positive side, it is low in fat (1 g per serving) and provides 8 g of protein per 55 g, making it a convenient lean protein source. Packaging is standard plastic, which adds environmental concerns but doesn’t directly affect health unless mishandled. Overall, it’s a moderately healthy choice, but the preservatives and sodium keep it from scoring higher.

Better Alternatives in the Same Category:

  • Fresh, skinless chicken breast: No additives, lower sodium, and higher nutrient density when cooked at home.
  • Fresh turkey breast: Similar lean protein profile, often lower in sodium when purchased raw and prepared without preservatives.
  • Frozen raw chicken breast fillets: Allow full control over seasoning and cooking, avoiding nitrites and excess sodium.
  • Lean cuts of pork tenderloin or beef sirloin: Comparable protein content with fewer preservatives when purchased fresh.
  • Pairing with fresh produce: Adding vegetables like spinach, peppers, or carrots balances the meal with fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, reducing the overall health risks of processed meat.

Key Takeaway:
Piller’s Cooked Chicken Breast earns a 7/10. It’s lean and protein-rich, but the high sodium and preservatives limit its health profile. For everyday meals, fresh poultry or minimally processed cuts are superior choices, offering the same convenience with fewer long-term health risks.
