Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

The Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme receives a rating of 1/5 green leaves on our scale, which is the lowest rating possible, indicating significant room for improvement in terms of health and quality standards. This evaluation reflects a rigorous assessment of the product’s ingredients and their alignment with our criteria for cleaner food options.

The Chalupa Supreme is not organic and contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which leads to initial deductions in its score. Furthermore, the presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, contributes to the negative assessment. The product also includes additional sweeteners like dextrose and corn syrup, which are considered more harmful forms of added sugar.

A range of potentially harmful additives are found within the Chalupa Supreme’s ingredient list, including natural flavors and enriched wheat flour, which are typically used to enhance taste and texture but do not align with clean eating principles. The use of soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, and sodium citrate also detracts from the product’s overall health score. Known harmful additives, such as carrageenan and maltodextrin, are present as well and are associated with adverse health effects.

The Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme contains oils, namely canola and soybean oil, that are considered harmful due to their processing methods and potential health impacts. These factors contribute to the product’s low rating.

The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives and oils make the Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme a product that falls short of our standards for cleaner, healthier food options. Our assessment indicates that consumers seeking healthier alternatives should consider avoiding this product in favor of options that better align with clean eating principles.
