Organic Apple Chicken Sausage, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated prepared-meats or organic meats section at Whole Foods, often grabbed for a weekend brunch, grill, or simple weeknight dinner. It reads wholesome and slightly nostalgic—apple and chicken evokes rustic breakfast links—but the sausage format, fruit concentrates and added 'natural flavor' hint at mechanical processing and a firmer, prepared-meat texture typical of processed foods.
