WARNING: KING SOOPER'S INGREDIENT LIST FOR "BAKED CHICKEN"

You know we're in a bad place when the listed allergens sound healthier than the main ingredients.  

I ordered some baked chicken today, or so I thought it was baked, but I ended up getting barbequed sauce not sauce-free baked chicken.  I thought about eating it, but then I started reading the ingredients.  You can see them listed here:

CHICKEN INGREDIENTS:  Up to 14% of the solution is water, salt, and sodium phosphates. 

No mention of chicken.  

BREADING INGREDIENTS:  Wheat flour, salt, soy flour, Red Pepper, Canola, or Soybean oil, Non-fat Milk, Garlic Powder, Eggs, Spices, Natural Flavor [what's that?], Disodium Inosinate, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. 

Canola or Soybean Oil?  They're not sure?  Is it a blend of the two?  They're not sure. 

SEASONING INGREDIENTS: Salt, Nonfat Milk, Natural Flavor [again, what is that?], Cellulose Gum, Disodium Inosinate, Silicon Dioxide. 

What is Natural Flavor?

FRYING OIL INGREDIENTS: (Triumph Zero Trans Creamy Liquid Fry Shortening) Liquid and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Canola Oil, TBHQ, and Citric Acid added to protect flavor.  Dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent added. 

What the hell is (Triumph Zero Trans Creamy Liquid Fry Shortening) Liquid and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil?  And what is Dimethylpolysiloxane?  And why are anti-foaming agents added? 

You know we're in a bad place when the listed allergens sound healthier than the main ingredients.
