Enriching foods with vitamins is generally considered a form of "processing" (i.e. potentially "bad") because we may not fully understand the way our bodies digest the 'original' food with all of its nutrients, compared to whatever nutrients we've managed to discover to put back in whatever is lost in processing. In the case of orange juice, processing may lose vitamins and fiber, and even if we put the vitamins back in, that doesn't guarantee the body would absorb them the same way it would if it ingested the vitamins and fiber together (may not be exactly accurate in this example, but that's my general understanding of the difference)
People who are more conscious of the hyperbole often prefer the term "minimally processed."
† There are legal requirements for what percent of a meat needs to be present to be a considered meat, thus we get things like "beefy tacos" which contain a meat-like product with so much filler they do not meet the already low standards of what the USDA considers to be meat.
Complete and total nonsense. Hotdogs, peperoni, sausage, bacon, and lunch meat all come shrink wrapped. Even Slimjims and jerky.

>Typically, it means anything more manipulated than cut or ground,” says dietician Lisa Cashman, RD. “This includes most lunchmeats found in deli counters, anything with a casing or in sausage form, and, of course, anything smoked or cured like bacon.”
And the American Meat Institute (that's a thing?) defines processing as "processed meats are fresh products that have been changed from their original state. Some have added ingredients like spices. Some are cooked and some are cured."

Right so even cooking is a form of processing. This should be pretty obvious. Eating "unprocessed" means eating basically food that is in its natural state, like eating a peach. Processing changes it, like cooking that peach.
Not sure if there's a generic term for it.
