OK, they do have some additives:
"It's really just our fat, some water, a little bit of lecithin as an emulsifier, and some natural flavor and color," Beiden-Charles said.
OK, Lecithin, may come from animal or plant products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin
Quote:
Lecithin (/ˈlɛsɪθɪn/ LESS-ith-in; from the Ancient Greek λέκιθος lékithos "yolk") is a generic term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues which are amphiphilic – they attract both water and fatty substances (and so are both hydrophilic and lipophilic), and are used for smoothing food textures, emulsifying, homogenizing liquid mixtures, and repelling sticking materials.[1][2]
I am going to speculate that you could grow mushrooms on the Fatty substances they create.
So, for Mars if you make and froze a bunch of that, you would have calories and could grow mushrooms, which along with other frozen foods would get you by in an emergency.

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?
