What You Should Know

Amy's Burrito, Beans, Rice & Cheddar Cheese (6 oz) reads like a convenience-oriented take on a classic bean-and-cheese wrap. You'd typically find it in the frozen prepared meals or frozen breakfast/snack aisle, shelved near other microwavable burritos, frozen vegetarian entrees and family-oriented organic frozen foods. It fits quick weekday lunches, lone dinners after work, college-student meal bins and pantry backup for nights when you want something fast and filling. Amy's Kitchen positions itself as a natural, organic alternative to conventional frozen convenience foods—the packaging leans on organic certification, simple ingredient lists and vegetarian-friendly cues to appeal to health-conscious parents, vegetarians and buyers seeking perceived “cleaner” convenience. The label projects health halos: organic stamps, whole-bean and whole-grain callouts, and short ingredient names even though the product is a ready-to-heat manufactured item. In plain language this is a manufactured frozen convenience meal: whole ingredients like pinto beans, brown rice and tomato purée are recombined, seasoned and sealed into a tortilla, then frozen. Expect a soft, pliable wheat tortilla that steams in the microwave to yield a warm, slightly moist interior of mashed beans, tender rice and melty cheddar with a mild tomato note and occasional pepper or onion flecks. Packaging is single-serve wrapped in plastic/foil inside a branded box, encouraging a ritual of pop-and-heat—microwave for speed or oven for a crisper shell. It sits culturally between pantry staple and comfort fast-food alternative, marketed as a more wholesome shortcut for busy modern American households.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This ready-to-heat frozen burrito is an industrially formulated product combining ingredients (refined wheat tortilla, oils, added wheat gluten) and manufactured processes typical of ultra-processed foods despite organic inputs; its convenience, packaging and minimal culinary preparation align with NOVA group 4.
