What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated plant-based or deli section as a grab-and-go stack of vegan deli slices for sandwiches, lunches, or charcuterie-style snacks. It carries a nostalgic deli vibe—an easy, practical substitute for traditional cold cuts. The smooth, meat-like texture and long ingredient list (vital wheat gluten, oils, concentrated soy products, and multiple flavoring agents) signal industrial formulation and added processing to recreate meat characteristics.
