What You Should Know

You'd grab this from the refrigerated deli or packaged lunch-meat aisle when assembling quick sandwiches, packing school lunches, or topping a salad. It gives a wholesome, practical and slightly nostalgic vibe — familiar, convenient, and marketed as a cleaner deli option. The oven-roasting and added water/salt/vinegar create a moist, uniform texture and indicate a cooked, preserved ready-to-eat product rather than an unprocessed cut, consistent with a processed-meat classification.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The ingredient list is short (turkey, water, salt, vinegar) with no artificial additives, but the product is cooked, sliced and formulated for ready-to-eat use with added water and notable sodium (700 mg), which aligns with NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than unprocessed or ultra-processed formulations.
