What You Should Know

Found in the refrigerated or frozen prepared foods section at Whole Foods, these Chicken Teriyaki Dumplings are the kind of grab-and-go item you reach for on a busy weeknight or for casual takeout-style snacking. They feel comforting and slightly indulgent with a familiar sweet-savory teriyaki and chili sauce combo; the long ingredient list and additives used to shape texture and shelf life signal industrial processing typical of ready-to-heat products.
