BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — The Real Good Foods Co. Inc. announces a new line of products consisting of breaded chicken made without industrial seed oils.
Now available at Sam’s Club and select retailers nationwide, 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, the company said.
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 meeting the moment with a clean-label alternative — offering comfort food that aligns with modern nutritional values, the company added.
“This is another example of Real Good Foods listening to our community and finding ways to satisfy their desire to live a healthier lifestyle,” Rikki Ingram, Real Good Foods chief marketing officer, said. “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. These are the foods people love, reimagined for the way they want to eat today.”
The line features lightly breaded chicken breast chunks, nuggets, popcorn chicken, tenders and strips, all with 20-plus grams of protein per serving. The company notes that these products cater to health-conscious consumers seeking high-protein, GLP-1-friendly meals made with fewer, less processed carbs and without the added sugars, grains or flours.
Real Good Foods also announced that it will begin removing industrial oils from its entire portfolio. Real Good Foods products are available in more than 16,000 stores nationwide. For more information, visit https://realgoodfoods.com.
