Mission Carb Balance Spinach Herb Tortilla Wraps
Summary
Mission Carb Balance Spinach Herb scores 12/100. Despite 'keto friendly' and 'GLP-1 friendly' marketing, the ingredient list is a parade of ultra-processing. Contains Hydrogenated Soybean Oils (trans fats), two artificial dyes (Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake and Blue 1 Aluminum Lake — the 'spinach' green color is largely artificial), distilled monoglycerides, modified wheat starch, calcium propionate, sorbic acid, fumaric acid, cellulose gum, and sodium acid pyrophosphate. NOVA 4 ultra-processed. The 'spinach herb' name is misleading — spinach powder is buried in the seasoning sub-list while artificial dyes create the green appearance.
