What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated deli or plant-based meat section, grabbed for quick sandwiches, lunchboxes, or a nostalgic deli-style bite without the animal meat. It gives a sliceable, chewy deli texture and a familiar roast-turkey flavor, but the long ingredient list (wheat gluten, bean flours, oils, yeast extracts, fortified nutritional yeast and colorants like titanium dioxide) and industrial processing clues point to a highly reformulated, ultra-processed product rather than a whole-food alternative.
