What You Should Know

You'd find this 10 oz Plant Based Pulled BVQ in the refrigerated plant-based/meat-alternatives section or on a shelf near ready-to-heat BBQ and sandwich fillings, perfect for a quick weeknight sandwich or game-day spread. It feels nostalgic and indulgent—designed to mimic pulled BBQ with smoky, comforting cues while being convenient and ready-to-eat. The presence of a branded protein blend, added oils, sugars and a uniform shredded texture points to industrial reformulation and processing typical of ultra-processed products.
