Classic Pizzeria Plant-Based Pepperoni Slices, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the refrigerated plant-based/vegan section or on a grocery list for pizza night, sandwiches, or quick snacks — the kind of product brought out for game night or a nostalgic slice-and-share moment. It feels indulgent and nostalgic, engineered to mimic the spice, color, and snap of traditional pepperoni. The long list of protein isolates, emulsifiers, hydrocolloids, flavorings and colorants points to heavy industrial processing (NOVA 4), designed to give a uniform sliceable texture, extended stability, and intense flavor rather than relying on whole foods.
