Sonoma Chicken Snack Break
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the grab-and-go refrigerated section at Whole Foods or grab it for a desk lunch, picnic, or quick snack between errands; it reads like an elevated deli-style kit with chicken salad, grapes, pecans, cheddar and pita crackers. The vibe is convenient and slightly indulgent—nostalgic chicken-salad comfort presented as a premium ready-to-eat product. The ingredient list and texture clues (added water in the chicken, maltodextrin/modified starches, xanthan gum, enriched flour and pre-mixed dressing) indicate industrial processing and assembly typical of ultra-processed items.
