what is considered processed meats and foods
I think we get really caught up in the word processed without realizing what it truly means.. Processed food falls on a spectrum from minimally to heavily processed: 1  Minimally processed foods â such as bagged spinach, cut vegetables and roasted nuts â are often simply pre-prepped for convenience.
The canned white chicken meat does not meet AICRâs definition of processed meat, which is âmeats preserved by smoking, curing, or salting, or by the addition of preservatives.â Canned chicken meat is preserved through the canning/sealing process.
