                                According to scientific reviews cited by the NIH, processed meats like liverwurst undergo processes such as curing, fermentation, or smoking to enhance flavor and preservation. This makes liverwurst inherently a processed food, but the true level of processing is much more nuanced and depends heavily on the manufacturer.
