Ultimate Chick'n Filets, 15 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the frozen meat-alternatives aisle as a ready-to-cook plant-based 'chicken' intended for quick weeknight dinners, game-day snacks, or a convenient family meal. It reads indulgent and comforting — a crunchy, savory substitute that evokes fried chicken nostalgia — but the long list of isolates, hydrocolloids, colorants and flavorings hints at a highly engineered texture and formulation typical of ultra-processed products.
