Whole Foods Market, Pad Thai, 16 oz, (Frozen)
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the frozen aisle at Whole Foods as a grab-and-heat Pad Thai — handy for a rushed weeknight or a lazy weekend meal. It reads like a comforting, slightly indulgent takeout substitute, but the very high sodium and sugar plus additives (caramel color) point to industrial processing. The presence of multiple added sugars, refined oils and colorants and the ready-to-heat frozen format suggest a uniform, sauce-driven texture typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods.
