processed food

i know the packaged lunchmeat is processed but what about deli meat you buy at the counter? it is still packaged. my guess is its the temp-deli kept in fridge,packaged lunch meat not as cold.

It's still filled with nitrates and preservatives, if that's what you're asking, and is really not much different than the stuff in the packages. I know places like Whole Foods offer nitrate-free lunch meat - I don't know how much better that is actually.

a little confused becaused the sign for the Board's Head Deli Meat says no preservatives or fillers. how is that possible?
