Supplement
Plant-based meats are FOOD PRODUCTS, not supplements. They are processed foods designed to mimic meat's taste and texture using plant proteins (soy, pea, wheat/seitan). Brands include Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and others. Nutritionally similar to meat in protein content but often higher in sodium and lower in some micronutrients. NO supplement outcomes - these are foods. Environmental benefits compared to meat. Ultra-processed, which some consider a health concern. Safe for most people; allergen considerations apply.
