What You Should Know

You’d spot this grilled chicken in the refrigerated ready-to-eat or prepared-protein section at Whole Foods, perfect for a grab-and-go dinner or batch meal-prep. It reads as clean and health-forward—simple, practical, and wholesome rather than indulgent. The very short ingredient list and cooked, packaged form indicate minimal but deliberate processing (heat-treated for tenderness, seasoned with oil and salt), consistent with a processed rather than ultra-processed product.
