What You Should Know

You'd find this in the chilled/frozen prepared-meal section or reaching for a quick lunch after a long day — a plant-forward, grab-and-heat chipotle veggie burrito bowl with a smoky kick. It reads like real ingredients (rice, beans, veggies, cheeses) but the ready-to-eat format plus packaged sauces, added oils, sugar and powdered seasonings signal industrial processing that yields consistent textures, convenience and the hallmarks of an ultra-processed product.
