Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Beef & Cheese Taquitos scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch, Modified Food Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Chili Paste (Chili Peppers, Dried Onion And Garlic, Yeast Extract, Salt, Spices, Beef Extract, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
