Health and wellness-focused frozen food company The Real Good Foods Co. is announcing a new innovation: a line of breaded chicken products made without industrial seed oils. 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.

Real Good Foods’ Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks are part of its first-ever seed oil-free frozen chicken line—delivering clean-label comfort food with over 20 grams of protein per serving.

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.

"This is another example of Real Good Foods 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. 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 featuring more than 20 grams of protein per serving. The line caters to health-conscious consumers seeking high-protein, GLP-1-friendly meals made with fewer, less processed carbs and without added sugars, grains or flours.

This launch also signals the start of a broader pledge: Real Good Foods will begin removing industrial oils from its entire portfolio, driven by the brand's belief that accessible frozen meals shouldn't come at the expense of clean ingredients.
