What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated meat/organic section or grab it for a backyard cookout or quick weeknight dinner — an organic-branded take on a classic childhood staple. It reads healthier and more natural thanks to organic turkey and simple seasonings, but the product’s uniform texture, added water and curing agents give away its processed, ready-to-eat nature. Those signs point to significant industrial processing (restructured meat, added liquids and curing powders) rather than a whole, single-ingredient food.
