By that logic a steak is processed beef. But yeah there’s a bit of a subjective line in the sand - all food goes through a process of some sort. Even veggies have to be picked, sorted, and washed.
Generally what is meant by processed is either food that’s undergone a preservative process or food with additives to make a secondary product. Like American cheese is processed cheese because it has additives after the original cheese process.
Generally butchery or packaging is not the colloquial bar for ‘processed’.
Ahh thanks for clarifying. But the devil advocate in me is thinking ‘If it’s been cut, it’s been processed’
