What You Should Know

You’d find this in the frozen meals section as a grab-and-heat option for a busy weeknight or a cozy comfort dinner — classic cheesy enchiladas that read like a homestyle casserole. The vibe is comforting and slightly nostalgic (melty cheese, soft tortillas) while also feeling practical and convenient; the ingredient list is mostly recognizable, but the fact it’s a ready-to-heat, multi-ingredient frozen entree points to industrial assembly and processing that yields uniform texture and shelf stability (a NOVA hint toward higher processing).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although ingredients are largely whole-foods (organic corn, cheeses, vegetables), this is a commercially prepared, ready-to-heat frozen multi-ingredient meal — an industrial formulation typical of NOVA 4 due to processing, assembly and preservation for convenience.
