What You Should Know

You’d find these jackfruit burger patties in the refrigerated or frozen plant-based section and they’re likely to turn up at backyard barbecues, quick weeknight dinners, or game-day spreads. They aim for a nostalgic grilled-burger experience with convenient, meat-like texture, but ingredients like methylcellulose, natural flavors and yeast extract reveal industrial texturizing and flavoring—classic signs of an ultra-processed product.
