Combining meat and whole vegetables, legumes and grains, chef-crafted, minimally processed Well Carved is made exclusively with organic ingredients, and like all of the brand’s offerings, it comes from animals humanely raised without antibiotics, added hormones or growth promotants, and fed a vegetarian or pasture-centered diet, and is free of added chemical nitrites, nitrates or phosphates, as well as artificial ingredients or preservatives. According to an independent report commissioned by the company, Well Carved has an estimated 51% fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than a conventional all-beef burger patty, while a nutritional analysis found that the line’s burgers and meatballs have fewer calories, fat and saturated fat than their conventional counterpoints.
