The Bolingbrook, Illinois-based Real Good Foods Company has introduced a new line of frozen breaded chicken products made without industrial seed oils. Now available at Sam’s Club and select retail stores across the USA, the launch brings one of the largest scale seed oil-free chicken offerings to the mass market – replacing commonly used oils like canola with a more traditional cooking fat: pure beef tallow.
For decades, industrial seed oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower and corn oil have been a processed food staple. But amid rising consumer concerns over ultra-refined ingredients and inflammation-linked omega-6 fats, Real Good Foods is offering a clean-label alternative that aligns with modern nutritional values.
“This is another example of listening to our community and finding ways to satisfy their desire to live a healthier lifestyle,” said Rikki Ingram, chief marketing officer at Real Good Foods. “It was not easy, but we knew it was an important step. By removing industrial seed oils and returning to traditional fats, we’re creating a platform that supports better health without sacrificing taste or ease.”
The line features lightly breaded chicken breast chunks, nuggets, popcorn chicken, tenders and strips – all delivering a crave-worthy crunch and 20+ grams of protein per serving. It caters to health-conscious consumers seeking high-protein, GLP-1-friendly meals made with fewer, less processed carbohydrates and without the added sugars, grains or flours.
