Ingredient Score:
The Taco Bell Crunchy Taco Supreme earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves on our scale, indicating it falls short in providing a clean eating option. This analysis assesses the food product based on its ingredients and adherence to health-conscious standards.
The taco is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts from its overall score. The presence of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid, further reduces its standing. Dextrose, a form of sugar that is particularly detrimental to health, is also an ingredient. This taco includes several potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors, flavor, soy lecithin, and potassium sorbate. Carrageenan and maltodextrin, known for their adverse effects, are found within the product’s composition. Additionally, the use of vegetable oil, which is often heavily processed and may contain trans fats, is another reason for the low score.
The product’s ingredients raise concerns regarding health and clean eating. The seasoned beef contains soy, and the sour cream includes milk, both of which are allergens for some individuals. The taco shell, made with ground corn and vegetable oil, and the lettuce and tomatoes are certified vegan. However, the cheddar cheese is only vegetarian-certified, not vegan.
Each ingredient is scrutinized to ensure consumers are informed about the food they eat. The Taco Bell Crunchy Taco Supreme, with its array of non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful components, does not meet the criteria for a cleaner, healthier food option. The 1/5 green leaves rating serves as a clear indicator that this product is best avoided for those seeking clean eating alternatives. The focus is on guiding consumers toward choices that are beneficial to their health and well-being, and this product does not align with those goals.
