WE COUNTED
EVERY
MICROPLASTIC.
The food industry doesn't talk about microplastics. We put them on the homepage. Because real food comes with real transparency.
MICROPLASTICS
PER SERVING
These numbers are from peer-reviewed research on microplastic contamination in common food and beverage products. Our figures are from Eurofins third-party testing.
Ultimate Chicken™
PP/PE/PA, No BPA, No PVC
Table Salt
Varies by brand & processing method
Packaged Protein Powder
Primarily from packaging material contact
Plastic Water Bottle
PET/HDPE bottles, especially when heated

WHAT'S IN OUR
POUCH.
AND WHAT ISN'T.
We chose PP/PE/PA packaging specifically for its food safety profile and low microplastic leach rates. Here's the science behind each layer:
PP — Polypropylene
Very Low RiskUsed in our outer layer. One of the most inert food-safe plastics. High melting point means minimal leaching even at elevated temperatures. Used in medical devices and food containers for decades.
PE — Polyethylene
Very Low RiskInner sealant layer. Extremely stable at food temperatures. Zero known endocrine-disrupting properties. FDA and European Food Safety Authority approved for direct food contact.
PA — Polyamide (Nylon)
Low RiskMiddle barrier layer. Provides oxygen and moisture barrier protection. Food-safe grade. Widely used in sous vide pouches globally, specifically because of its barrier properties and safety profile.
BPA — NOT in Our Packaging
EXCLUDEDBisphenol A is a known endocrine disruptor linked to hormonal disruption. Found in polycarbonate plastics and some epoxy resins. Our packaging contains zero BPA.
PVC — NOT in Our Packaging
EXCLUDEDPolyvinyl chloride can leach phthalates and other plasticizers at elevated temperatures. Common in cheap food packaging. We use none of it.
WE DON'T SELF-CERTIFY.
WE SHOW RECEIPTS.
Eurofins Tested
Eurofins Scientific is one of the world's leading laboratory networks with 6,600+ locations. Every batch of Ultimate Chicken is tested by them — not by us.
FSSAI Certified
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. Our facility is certified, our processes are documented, and our product meets all FSSAI requirements for RTE chicken.
Third-Party Verified
We don't self-certify. Any food brand can print "clean" on a label. We have laboratory receipts. We publish the numbers publicly. That's the difference.
Zero Preservatives
Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, sodium nitrate — none of them are in Ultimate Chicken. The sous vide process and vacuum seal handles preservation without any synthetic additives.
WHY THIS MATTERS
TO US.
We're building a food brand for a generation that reads labels, questions ingredients, and demands honesty. If we can't look our customers in the eye and tell them exactly what's in their food and their packaging, we shouldn't be making food.
The microplastics conversation is uncomfortable for the food industry. We're having it anyway. Because the alternative — silently putting thousands of plastic particles into the food of people who trust us — is not something we're willing to do.
Real food. Real protein. Real transparency.
