SOO GOOD
THE BEST vegan chicken tenders !! Please Gardein never discontinue this! I eat this when I don’t have time to make a quick meal! Pop it in the air fryer for 20 mins and make your rice meanwhile and asparagus 👌🏼 DELICIOUS! 🩷

Please remove titanium dioxide!
Please remove titanium dioxide and lower the sodium! Would buy all the time if at least the titanium dioxide wasn’t an ingredient.

Bring back the multigrain tenders
Horrible. I miss the old version of chick’s tenders that were cheaper, smaller and had multigrain breading. These are just hunks of fake meat. Won’t be buying these again.

I trust these tenders with my life! I’m not completely vegan/vegetarian but I hate how all other frozen chicken tenders taste but these taste AMAZING especially in the air fryer.

CARCINOGEN ALERT
WARNING!! CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND CANOLA OIL. The titanium dioxide is completely un-necessary and its BEEN known that it causes cancer. Canola oil and all seed oils are terrible for our bodies as well. Avocado oil is a much safer and healthier alternative. Please make these changes! Otherwise, I'd give a five star review! I wish I could eat these products again, but I just don't feel safe putting these chemicals and seed oils in my body.

Delicious
Wow, they definitely have the recipe right on these ones. They taste amazing and take only minutes in the air fryer. They may be high in sodium, but again it’s about moderation and what else I consume it with. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and very flavourful, not to mention that they are high in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals and best of all… they are plant based! I will be buying these on a regular basis!

Tastes really good
These are the best tasting plant based chicken products I've tried. I wouldn't go so far as to say it tastes exactly like chicken, but I do really like it

Why change the recipe?!?
These used to be great. Over the past year the recipe has definitely changed for the worse. Please bring back the old recipe

THE best
Best in the airfryer for perfect crispy texture. Would buy even more if they had larger sizes or occasional

Contains known carcinogen
I loved this and bought them all the time, until I found out they have titanium dioxide, which is a known carcinogen.

Weird taste
My husband and I are vegetarian. I like your other chicken alternatives but not these. They have a weird taste. Almost like perfume. Very chemical. While they were cooking we smelled a chemical like smell. When we went to eat them, we realized that THAT was the smell.

Not worth it
Very rubbery, had a weird taste. And it was expensive for the amount of strips in the bag.

Absolutely vile
Absolutely revolting. I’ve never been so overcome by anger and disgust while eating something that I put down the food in question to immediately write a review. I only bought these because the morning star incogmeato tenders weren’t available (these are the best, and I was expecting something similar considering how expensive these things are) and I seriously regret my purchase. They tasted so nasty I had to remove them from the bun and just eat the bun/toppings on their own. I could only manage a few bites, they taste like the nasty vegan alternatives that were the only available options five years ago. Considering the other options on the market now, these are an embarrassment. Do not buy these unless you want to eat grisly, rubbery tasting hunks of crap!

Do not reccomend
The taste and texture is awful compared to others on the market. The price is definitely not worth the quality.

Remove the Titanium
I used to buy these every week. I have spent hundreds on their products. And sadly I must now find an alternative due to the toxic chemical Titanium Dioxide. Such a shame. Please remove it, I don’t care how white the interior looks.

I honestly thought they couldn't mess this up
Bad flavor and texture, there are so many good plant based chicken nuggets that even though Gardein has failed for me on multiple items, I really thought they couldn't fail this.

Gross texture and weird flavor
The flavor isn't at all like chicken tenders, it's more like chicken soup or a chicken bouillon cube. It has a very strong chicken flavor in that sense, but not the flavor chicken tenders are supposed to have. The texture was also not great, though it was similar to some chicken tenders I had in the past, which is: wet, stringy, and chewy. I hate wet chicken as it feels raw, and although this isn't raw chicken, the texture was way too close to wet greasy chicken. Don't think I'll be trying these again.
