In our analysis, Authentic Whole Wheat Tortillas scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme (Wheat Starch, Cellulose)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Tortillas & Taco Shells, this product is more processed than about 57% of the 1,406 products we've analyzed.
