Is Gardein Ultimate Frozen Plant-Based Chick'n Nuggets -14.7oz GERD Friendly?

Description
Savory, lightly seasoned nuggets with a crisp exterior and tender, chewy interior when baked or air-fried. Commonly served as snacks, appetizers, or meal components with dipping sauces, salads, and sandwiches. Reviewers note consistent seasoning and convenience but report occasional uneven cooking and varying crispness across batches; noted for quick reheating.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- garlic powder
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.
