What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the frozen or plant‑based section as an easy grab for weeknight dinners, kid lunches, or game‑day snacks—comforting, crunchy, and familiar like a chicken nugget alternative. The crisp, uniform texture and ingredient list (methylcellulose, natural flavors, dextrose, refined flours and oils, and chemical leaveners) reveal industrial formulation and processing typical of ultra‑processed products.
