What You Should Know

You'd find this grilled chicken in the Whole Foods refrigerated grab-and-go case or deli section — a ready-to-eat protein for salads, meal prep, or a quick weeknight dinner. It reads as wholesome and health-focused (Paleo-friendly and practical) rather than indulgent or heavily processed. The short ingredient list and grilled format suggest minimal processing for cooking and packaging — tender, pre-cooked texture without the additives or industrial ingredients that define ultra-processed foods.
