I wouldn't trust ant ready made food in the US
UK / EU supermarket* ready made food is a whole different story, and can actually be healthier than homemade.
Though I made the mistake of getting two tubs of fresh mushroom and garlic sauce with fresh pasta parcels recently, I like mushrooms but this fresh sauce was meh compared to the tomato or cheese sauce alternatives.
- This is food made fresh daily at the in supermarket counters I mean, bot the junk in jars or tins. You get fresh ready to cook fish, pasta, sauces, soups, pizza, pies, pasties, cakes etc etc etc. Usually what I order from supermarkets for my fresh food.
