Summary

This tortilla is made with corn masa flour, which is a beneficial ingredient due to its minimal processing and nutrient retention. However, the presence of cellulose gum, a synthetic additive, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite having a relatively clean ingredient list.
