What You Should Know

You might pull this from the refrigerated plant-based/meat-alternative section on a weekend when you want quick BBQ-style pulled 'meat' for sandwiches or tacos. It gives comforting, nostalgic barbecue vibes but is a convenient, engineered product — the protein blend and added oils, sugars, and seasonings point to a reformed texture and industrial preparation rather than a simple whole-food item.
