Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tostadas Nortenas scores Ultra-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.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Fd & C Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
