What You Should Know

You'd find this in the supermarket freezer aisle or the grab-and-go refrigerated/heated case as a single-serve, ready-to-eat burrito bowl for busy lunches or weeknight dinners. It reads as a comfortingly familiar, slightly indulgent yet health-forward option — rice, beans, veggies and melted cheeses with a smoky chipotle kick. The packaged ready-meal format and ingredients like added oils, sugar in the chipotle sauce, and processed cheeses point to industrial assembly and uniform textures consistent with ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is NOVA 4 because it is a packaged, ready-to-eat frozen bowl composed of multiple formulated components and industrial ingredients (e.g., canola oil, added sugar in the chipotle mix, processed/pasteurized cheeses). The multi-ingredient, industrially assembled format and additives signal ultra-processing rather than minimal or culinary processing.
