Imagine using a processed raw material or ingredient to make a processed food.

Example I can give is chicken meat removed from bone using machines or just offcuts, then added with anti oxidants to avoid colour changes during storage. Then mince the chicken,tumble it in brine. add extenders, fillers and preservatives. Coat it with a processed bread crump also containing 20 ingredients, that bread crump needs some sort of egg free dip to stick to the meat so you add a processed dip, then flash fry it.

And you have a nugget or something.
