What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated prepared foods or grab-and-go case at Whole Foods, handy for a quick weeknight dinner or a protein boost after a workout. It gives a clean, health-forward and practical vibe — paleo-friendly, simple, and reassuringly whole-food based. The short ingredient list and pre-grilled format suggest minimal seasoning and a flaky texture, but because it’s cooked and packaged as a ready-to-eat item it leans toward processed rather than ultra-processed.

Processed Food
