What You Should Know
You'd find this on a grocery shelf in the ready-meals or plant-based section — a grab-and-heat chili for busy weeknights, game days, or storm prep.

The long ingredient list and additives (textured soy protein concentrate, natural flavors, caramel color, xanthan gum, lecithin) and engineered texture point to an ultra-processed, NOVA 4 style product.

Common Questions about Plant-Based Be'f Chili With Beans, 15 OZ
The Be'f Chili is a pretty solid option if you're looking for something hearty and filling. It packs a protein punch with 28 grams per can and boasts 21 grams of fiber, which can help keep you feeling full. Just remember, 'healthy' can mean different things depending on your dietary goals, so it's great for a protein boost, but not necessarily the lowest in sodium.
