Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Home Style Tortillas scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglyceride Potassium Sorbate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Tortillas & Taco Shells, this product is more processed than about 57% of the 1,406 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
