What You Should Know

You'd spot these 365 Flour Burrito Tortillas in the bread/tortilla aisle or wrapped on the bakery shelf at Whole Foods, grabbed for quick weeknight burritos, lunches, or a grab-and-go breakfast. They give a convenient, comforting vibe—soft, familiar, and a little nostalgic for takeout-style wraps. The ingredient list (shortening, emulsifiers, gums, and fumaric acid) and uniform texture point to industrial processing for shelf stability and consistent chew, typical of ultra-processed products.
