What You Should Know

You'd spot these Brazi Bites Homestyle Waffles in the frozen breakfast or convenience aisle, ready to heat for a quick morning or a nostalgic weekend brunch. They feel comforting and convenient, but the long list of isolated starches, emulsifiers and stabilizers explains the very uniform, shelf-stable texture and is characteristic of industrially made ready-to-eat foods.
