    What does “upcycled” mean in the context of food? It sounds like they’re saying “here’s the ugly B-grade stuff we would normally sell for animal feed or industrial uses, but let’s polish it up and sell it to humans!”

      Yeah, that’s basically exactly it. Nothing really wrong with it, but it is kind of just a marketing gimmick. Basically the same as calling something like Spam “Upcycled pork”
