Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Beef Taquitos scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed 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.
