Rating: 1/5 Green Leaves
The Taco Bell Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme, a fast-food item meant to offer a vegetarian option, falls significantly short in the realm of cleaner, healthier food choices. It is neither organic nor free of genetically modified ingredients. The product includes added sugars such as molasses and sugar, with a more concerning presence of dextrose, which contributes to the negative assessment of its nutritional profile.
The list of ingredients reveals the inclusion of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and diglycerides. More alarmingly, it contains known harmful additives such as carrageenan, maltodextrin, and sodium metabisulfite. These substances are often criticized for their potential adverse health effects and are best avoided by those seeking clean eating options.
Furthermore, the Crunchwrap Supreme is prepared with oils that are considered harmful, including canola, soybean, and corn oils. These are typically highly processed and may contain trans fats, which are not conducive to a healthy diet. The use of enriched wheat flour also detracts from the product’s healthfulness, as it often indicates the flour has been stripped of its natural nutrients and then synthetically fortified.
The combination of these factors contributes to the product’s low green leaf rating. The presence of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives and oils indicate that this food item does not align with the criteria for cleaner, healthier food options.
Those seeking to maintain a diet with high-quality, nutritious ingredients are advised to steer clear of the Taco Bell Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme. The product’s composition, dominated by questionable additives and unhealthy fats, places it at the lowest tier of the rating scale for health-conscious consumers.
