About CHICKEN TAMALES, CHICKEN
Kroger Chicken Tamales are a prepared Mexican-style product from The Kroger Co.'s core Kroger brand, sold in the Prepared Wraps and Burritos category. The Kroger brand is the flagship private label of one of the largest US supermarket chains, distributed across Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, and Smith's stores. These tamales consist of a seasoned masa corn dough wrapped around a chicken and tomatillo filling, following the traditional Central American food preparation.
Masa leads the ingredient list, made from corn, water, lime, propionic acid, and phosphoric acid. The filling contains chicken thigh, water, tomatillo, lard, corn flour, salt, jalapeno, masa seasoning (paprika, salt, chili pepper, garlic powder, and spices), garlic, cilantro, cornstarch, cumin, black pepper, and spices. The use of lard as a fat source is traditional in tamale preparation and contributes to the characteristic texture of the product. Tomatillo and jalapeno provide an acidic, mildly spicy flavor profile consistent with a green chile chicken tamale style.
Per 100 grams, these tamales provide 212 calories, 11.76 g fat, 20 g carbohydrates, 7.06 g protein, and 1.20 g fiber — a moderate calorie density with balanced macronutrients. The fat content reflects the lard and corn masa combination. No wheat, soy, dairy, or egg ingredients appear in the list, which may make this product suitable for those avoiding those specific allergens, though USDA branded data does not confirm manufacturing allergen controls. The product is not vegetarian or vegan due to chicken and lard. The propionic and phosphoric acids in the masa base are common food-grade acidulants and preservatives.
