What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the frozen or refrigerated prepared meals section as an easy, heat‑and‑eat dinner for a busy weeknight or a low‑fuss family meal. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic homemade vibe — cheesy, saucy, and familiar — while promising ‘organic’ ingredients. The texture and convenience come from industrial cooking and packaging, but the ingredient list is mostly recognizable whole foods with few if any industrial additives, pointing away from ultra‑processed formulations.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product is a ready‑to‑heat prepared meal assembled from recognizable ingredients (tortillas, cheeses, vegetables, oils) and lacks obvious industrial additives or long lists of techno‑ingredients, so it aligns with NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra‑processed (group 4). Packaging and industrial preparation push it beyond minimally processed.
