What You Should Know

Found in the frozen pizza aisle alongside gluten-free and cauliflower-crust options, this Buffalo Style Chicken Cauliflower Crust Pizza is the kind of ready-to-heat item you grab for a quick indulgent meal or a game-night treat. It markets a ‘healthier’ twist with cauliflower and chicken, but the long ingredient list of starches, gums, emulsifiers and flavorings reveals an engineered texture and shelf-stability typical of ultraprocessed foods.
