Not a vegan but do eat tofu and how the hell is that ultra-processed. Seitan I’ve had but am less familiar with (it’s not seen here in rural Japan and also it turns out my body hates gluten so it’s off the menu) but I don’t recall the process of making it being that … “Ultra”
We make seitan at home, it’s the same steps as making homemade bread but boiled in flavor instead of baked. They’d probably put homemade bread on the list, too, though.
Yeah, I make my own sausages every now and then. I usually only make enough for that week, but they last in the freezer maybe a month. I’m sure they’d be on the list too.
I’m not sure about the definition, but Tofu could certainly qualify as heavily processed, if not ultra processed. Remember, this has nothing to do with industrial scale or the “healthiness” , but with the number and degree of steps needed to go from raw material to foodstuff.
