Out of the 18 ingredients on Beyond's website, some are familiar, like brown rice and salt. Others, like methylcellulose, are a little less so.

TLDR: lots of salt and artificial flavourings. But a lot of interesting chemistry goes into it too. There are annealing steps, and many other processes I don’t understand.

    In the most deprived parts of the world, yes, safe food is just not available. But most of the world does not have these problems.

      It’s the USA, generally not considered deprived, where meat is likely to be tainted with growth hormones, chlorine, antibiotics, as byproducts of food being treated as a commodity to be made as cheaply as possible.

        That’s what I’m saying. Lack of access to a basic quality of food sounds like deprivation to me.

        But this is already off topic.
