Summary
The corn tortillas are ultra-processed, which limits their score due to the high level of processing involved. While the ingredient list is relatively short and lacks major harmful additives, the presence of cellulose gum as a thickening agent indicates some degree of processing. The product does not contain seed oils or artificial dyes, which helps maintain a moderate score within its category.
