What You Should Know

You'd find this in the Whole Foods prepared foods case or refrigerated soup shelf — an easy grab for a quick weeknight meal, potluck, or cozy solo dinner. It gives a comforting, homestyle vibe with familiar chicken, tomatoes, corn and chips, but the ready-to-eat format and processed components (tortilla chips, lime concentrate, cornstarch, added vegetable oils) point to industrial formulation. Those ingredients and the likely homogenized texture and stable shelf/refrigeration are typical cues of a commercially produced, ultra-processed product.
