What "processed" means ?
It is what it says on the tin. Two examples:
1) The addition of preservatives, additives, emulsifiers and such like (the so-called "E" numbers)
2) Manipulating the product through a highly industrial process in such a way that makes it unrecognisable from its original form, so for example :
- In the meat eating world, reconstituted meat.
- In the fake-meat world. One example is fake chicken, which tends to use pea protein isolate. Pea protein isolate is created using a chemical-based highly-industrial process. Added to which the usual suspects such as MSG are also used in the fake-meat world in order to try to fake the taste.
