Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Taco Bell Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Sausage is a product that raises concerns due to its ingredient composition. This breakfast option is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which are significant factors in its low green leaf rating. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, including molasses and sugar, further detracts from its healthfulness. More concerning is the inclusion of dextrose, a form of sugar that is especially penalized in our rating system.
Beyond sugars, the burrito contains several potentially harmful additives. The ingredient list reveals natural flavors and diglycerides, which are viewed with caution, while enriched wheat flour and xanthan gum are also present. A more alarming discovery is the use of maltodextrin and sodium metabisulfite, which are known for their potential adverse effects on health.
The product’s use of oils is another drawback. Canola, soybean oil, and unspecified vegetable oils are ingredients that are often processed and may not align with cleaner food standards. Given these factors, the burrito does not meet the criteria for a higher rating on our scale.
The Taco Bell Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Sausage is a product that our analysis finds to be suboptimal for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. Its composition of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives, coupled with the use of processed oils, underpins the low rating. Consumers looking for cleaner, more wholesome breakfast choices are advised to consider alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude harmful additives and sugars.
