About CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS, CHICKEN
Simply Balanced Chicken Drumsticks represent Target's health-oriented Simply Balanced private-label line's offering in the raw poultry category. The Simply Balanced brand was focused on organic, non-GMO, and clean-label products before the line was substantially consolidated into Good & Gather around 2019. This single-ingredient product contains only chicken, consistent with the brand's transparency ethos. The caloric density of approximately 161 calories per 100 grams is slightly higher than other Market Pantry drumstick entries in the USDA database, likely reflecting differences in skin thickness or fat content rather than any formulation variation given the single-ingredient nature.
Simply Balanced drumsticks were likely sourced from chicken raised to specific welfare or feeding standards aligned with the brand's positioning, potentially including organic certification or similar claims, though the USDA FoodData Central entry does not contain sufficient label text to confirm organic status for this specific record. The higher calorie figure relative to Market Pantry variants may also reflect a different bird breed or production protocol. Nutritionally, dark meat chicken provides more zinc and iron per gram than white breast meat, with myoglobin-bound iron being highly bioavailable. The absence of any additives means this product is suitable for consumers with sensitivities to sodium phosphates, carrageenan, or other common poultry processing aids.
