What's inside

Shortening

High in trans fats if partially hydrogenated, associated with cardiovascular risks; oxidative instability if high in polyunsaturated fats; potential for high saturated fat content

Interesterified Soybean Oil

High omega-6 content with oxidative instability, potential adverse effects on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, hexane extraction residues, endocrine disruption concerns related to soy derivatives

Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

High in trans-fatty acids if partially hydrogenated, associated with cardiovascular disease risk, PUFA dominant oil with oxidation instability potential

Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil

High in saturated fat, potential presence of trans fats from partial hydrogenation, associated with increased cardiovascular risk, contamination risk from pesticide residues in cottonseed, oxidation instability if not fully hydrogenated

Sorbic Acid

Irritation/sensitization especially in high concentrations, potential allergic reactions in sensitive individuals

Sodium metabisulfite

Potential allergen, respiratory and skin irritant, may cause hypersensitivity reactions, residual sulfur dioxide exposure

Seasoned Beef Topping

Potential high sodium content, presence of preservatives (e.g., nitrites), risk of processed meat associated carcinogenicity, possible allergen presence, saturated fat content

Chili Pepper

Irritant and sensitizer risk on skin and mucous membranes, ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, rare allergic reactions

Soy Lecithin

Hexane solvent residues from processing, potential estrogenic effects, allergen exposure

Natural flavors

Lack of transparency in chemical composition, potential presence of allergenic or irritant compounds, ultra-processed input, no nutritional value

Flour Tortilla

Provides carbohydrates and energy source

Bleached Enriched Wheat Flour

Provides carbohydrates and enriched vitamins/minerals, common staple for energy

Malted Barley Flour

Provides enzymatic activity for starch breakdown, contributes flavor and color in baking, source of nutrients

Water

Hydration, solvent for food matrices

Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance

Leavening

Improves texture in baked goods, allows for aeration and rise

Baking soda

Leavening agent in baking, pH buffering capability

Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate

Improves texture and leavening in baked goods, acts as preservative and acidity regulator

Yeast

Nutritional source of B vitamins and proteins, fermentative agent in food and beverage production

Sorbitan Monostearate

Emulsifier improving texture and stability of formulations

Ascorbic Acid

Antioxidant properties, aids collagen synthesis, supports immune function

Sugar

Provides energy as a quick source of glucose

Mono- and Diglycerides

Improve texture and stability of food products, enable mixing of immiscible ingredients

Fumaric Acid

Effective acidulant for pH control and flavor enhancement in food products

Enzymes

Enhance food processing efficiency, improve digestibility, reduce processing time

Wheat Starch

Provides texture and structure in food processing, gluten-free wheat starch variants exist

Calcium Carbonate

Calcium source for dietary supplementation, antacid properties, common food additive

Cellulose

Dietary fiber, promotes digestive health, stabilizes texture

Corn starch

Effective thickener, gluten-free starch source

Dicalcium Phosphate

Provides bioavailable calcium and phosphorus essential for bone health and metabolic functions

Tocopherols

Antioxidant protecting fats from oxidation, supports nutritional vitamin E intake

Citric acid

Flavor enhancement, pH control, preservative effect

Calcium Propionate

Preservative extending shelf life, prevents spoilage

Molasses

Source of minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium), provides energy via sugars

Beef

Rich source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, iron, zinc, vitamin B12

Maltodextrin

Provides energy quickly, useful as a bulking agent and texture enhancer in food formulations

Oats

Source of soluble fiber (beta-glucan) that supports cardiovascular health, nutrient-dense, low glycemic index

Spices

Flavor enhancement, some antioxidant and antimicrobial properties documented

Tomato Powder

Source of natural flavor and color, contains antioxidants like lycopene

Onion powder

Adds flavor, contains minor amounts of phytochemicals

Torula Yeast

Flavor enhancement, protein source

Cocoa

Source of antioxidants (polyphenols), flavoring agent, contains small amounts of beneficial minerals

Disodium Inosinate

Enhances savory flavor, reduces sodium content when used in combination with MSG

Disodium Guanylate

Enhances savory flavors, reduces need for added salt

Dextrose

Rapid energy source, used in medical settings for treatment of hypoglycemia

Lactic Acid
