Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Taco Bell Veggie Mexican Pizza receives a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our scale, signaling a product that is not aligned with our criteria for cleaner food options. This score reflects the presence of several ingredients that do not meet our standards for healthfulness and environmental sustainability.
This product is not organic, which is a significant factor in its low rating. Furthermore, the lack of non-GMO ingredients contributes to the score. The inclusion of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid, also detracts from the product’s overall healthfulness. The presence of potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors, flavor, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and sodium citrate further impacts the rating negatively. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, is a notable ingredient that reduces the product’s score.
The Taco Bell Veggie Mexican Pizza also contains oils that are considered harmful, including canola, soybean, and unspecified vegetable oils. These oils are not in line with our guidelines for clean eating.
The product consists of a Mexican Pizza Shell, Refried Beans, a Three Cheese Blend, Mexican Pizza Sauce, and fresh tomatoes. The Mexican Pizza Shell contains enriched bleached wheat flour and is prepared in canola oil. The Refried Beans feature pinto beans and soybean oil, amongst other ingredients. The Three Cheese Blend includes a mix of cheeses with added colors and preservatives, while the Mexican Pizza Sauce is composed of vegetables, spices, and various additives. The use of fresh tomatoes is the only component that does not contribute negatively to the product’s score.
Given the ingredients and the lack of organic and non-GMO certifications, the Taco Bell Veggie Mexican Pizza is not recommended for those seeking cleaner and healthier food options. The score of 1/5 green leaves is indicative of a product that contains multiple elements that fall short of our standards for a clean diet. Consumers are advised to consider these factors when making their food choices.
