What You Should Know
You'd spot this 5 oz Chicken Chili Verde Burrito in the frozen or microwavable meal aisle — a single-serve, grab-and-heat option for busy lunches, late nights, or travel. The product reads comforting and practical, but the long list of refined starches, gums, emulsifiers, isolated proteins, palm oil and syrups signals ultra-processed manufacturing that produces a uniform, soft texture and microwave-friendly stability.

Ultra-Processing Assessment
Ultra-Processed
Why this score?
This is NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) because it combines whole ingredients (chicken, rice, beans, vegetables) with industrial formulations and additives — gums (guar, xanthan), emulsifiers (sunflower lecithin), isolated protein, syrups, refined starches and modified leavening agents — used to control texture, shelf life and microwave performance.
