Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, White Flour Tortilla Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (A Milk Derivative)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 21% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
