What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated or frozen vegetarian/health-food section and pull it out when you want a quick meatless burger for weeknight dinners or a relaxed weekend cookout. It has a wholesome, slightly nostalgic "homemade-but-convenient" vibe — hearty, savory, and familiar rather than indulgent. The ingredients list is mostly whole foods and culinary oils, but the product is formed into a patty and uses wheat gluten for texture, indicating industrial processing for shape and mouthfeel rather than heavy use of additives.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole ingredients and culinary oils with no obvious artificial additives, but manufactured into a ready-to-cook patty and containing processed components like wheat gluten; these characteristics align with NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than group 4 ultraprocessed.
