Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Taco Bell Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato represents a choice that falls short of cleaner food standards due to its numerous non-organic and potentially harmful ingredients. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs), resulting in initial deductions from its overall health score.
The burrito also includes added sugars such as molasses and sugar, alongside citric acid, which contributes to its negative rating. More concerning is the presence of dextrose, a form of added sugar that carries a heavier penalty due to its potential health implications. The list of ingredients extends into the realm of potentially harmful additives, including natural flavors, various flavorings, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, and xanthan gum. Each of these components raises concerns regarding their place in a product aimed at health-conscious consumers.
Among the more alarming ingredients are maltodextrin and sodium metabisulfite, both of which are recognized as known harmful additives, further diminishing the product’s standing. Additionally, the inclusion of various oils such as canola, soybean, and unspecified vegetable oils, all of which are not held in high regard within the context of cleaner eating, contribute to the product’s low rating.
The burrito’s composition reflects a combination of elements that are at odds with the pursuit of healthier, cleaner food options. The use of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and a range of questionable additives and oils underscores the rationale behind the product’s minimal green leaf rating. The Taco Bell Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato is a product that consumers seeking cleaner food alternatives would be advised to avoid, as it significantly deviates from the standards of health and wellness that are central to the website’s recommendations.
