Italian Sausage, 12.95 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated vegetarian/vegan meat section or specialty deli aisle when shopping for plant-based proteins—handy for grilling, pasta, or a hearty sandwich. It gives a comforting, nostalgic sausage vibe but is clearly convenience-focused: the meaty texture and savory punch come from industrial ingredients like wheat gluten, protein isolates, refined oils and flavor extracts, which are typical of ultraprocessed products.
