Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme is a product that is advised against due to its composition of ingredients that fall short of the standards for cleaner food options. This fast-food item is not organic and contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which immediately impacts its standing on the health scale. The inclusion of added sugars such as molasses and sugar, along with citric acid and dextrose, further detracts from its nutritional value.
The Crunchwrap Supreme also presents a range of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, and potassium sorbate. These are common in processed foods but are considered undesirable in cleaner eating contexts. More concerning are ingredients such as carrageenan, maltodextrin, and sodium metabisulfite, which are known for their potential negative health impacts and contribute to the product’s low score.
In addition to these additives, the Crunchwrap Supreme contains oils that are often associated with health risks when consumed in excess, including canola, soybean, and unspecified vegetable oils. These oils are frequently processed and may contain trans fats, which are linked to various health issues.
The product’s ingredient list is extensive, featuring a flour tortilla, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, iceberg lettuce, reduced-fat sour cream, tomatoes, and tostada shells. The flour tortilla alone contains a mix of bleached enriched wheat flour and various dough conditioners and preservatives. The seasoned beef includes fillers and flavor enhancers, while the nacho cheese sauce and reduced-fat sour cream are made with modified food starch and preservatives.
Based on the stringent criteria of cleaner food options, the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme falls significantly short due to its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and the use of harmful oils. The product’s overall composition and reliance on processed components lead to the recommendation to avoid this food item for those seeking healthier alternatives.
