365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Ground Chicken, Step 3, 16 Ounce
What You Should Know
You'll find this in the Whole Foods meat case or refrigerated section when picking up a simple, lean protein for weeknight dinners or meal prep. It feels wholesome and practical — a no-frills, ready-to-cook option with the uniform texture you expect from commercially ground meat. The short ingredient list (chicken, vinegar, sunflower oil, rosemary extract) signals a product that has been processed for preservation and flavoring but lacks the long lists of industrial additives seen in ultra-processed foods.

Why this score?
This is classified as NOVA 3 (processed) because it is primarily recognizable meat with added culinary ingredients—vinegar, oil, and rosemary extract—for preservation and flavoring, rather than the multi-ingredient industrial formulations and techno-functional additives that define ultra-processed (NOVA 4) foods.
