What You Should Know

You'd find Amy's Cheese Enchiladas in the frozen aisle or reach for it on a busy weeknight when you want a warm, cheesy meal with minimal effort. It feels comforting and slightly nostalgic — a quick homemade-style dinner with an organic branding twist. The ingredient list is mostly recognizable, but the ready-made frozen format, processed cheese components, added oils and elevated sodium hint at industrial processing and the soft, uniform textures typical of ultra-processed convenience meals.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Classified as NOVA 4 because it's a packaged, ready-to-eat frozen meal made from multiple processed components and produced industrially for convenience; despite mostly recognizable and organic ingredients, the manufacturing, processed cheeses, added oils and relatively high sodium are characteristic of ultra-processed foods.
