What You Should Know
You'd find this in the refrigerated meat case at Whole Foods, an easy grab for weekend breakfasts, sandwiches, or a smoky addition to salads and brunch spreads. The product reads as comforting and indulgent with a slightly healthier spin thanks to 'reduced sodium' and 'uncured' labeling. Its short ingredient list and smoked, salt-and-sugar preservation signal a processed meat — simple ingredients but clearly transformed by curing and packaging.
