Summary
This product is made from nixtamalized corn flour, water, salt, calcium hydroxide, and sodium bicarbonate, which are relatively simple and recognizable ingredients. The processing level is moderate, and there is a mention of a bioengineered ingredient, which may raise some concerns for consumers seeking non-GMO products. However, the absence of seed oils, artificial additives, and excessive sugars contributes positively to its score.
