What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated deli or plant-based meat section, grabbed by someone craving a sandwich-style swap for classic corned beef. It gives a nostalgic, comfort-food vibe while marketing a healthier, plant-forward twist, and its firm, sliceable texture and long ingredient list (wheat gluten, concentrated components, added sugars, soy sauce and fortified yeast) point to extensive industrial processing consistent with ultraprocessed deli analogues.
