Summary

The organic taco shells are made with organic stone ground blue corn masa flour, which is a nutritious whole grain ingredient. However, the use of high-oleic sunflower seed and/or safflower seed oil introduces a moderate concern due to the presence of seed oils, which are less desirable than healthier fats like avocado or olive oil. The product is processed, which limits its score potential, but the clean ingredient list without artificial additives is a positive aspect.
