Pinto Bean & Cheese Burrito, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the frozen aisle as a grab-and-go, microwaveable 5 oz burrito — the kind you buy for a quick lunch, late-night snack, or to toss in a lunchbox. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic convenience-food vibe, but the long ingredient list and additives (gums, leavening blends, emulsifiers, syrups, stabilizers) point to industrial formulation. Those texture- and shelf-life-focused ingredients are classic NOVA hints that the product is ultraprocessed rather than a freshly made whole-food meal.
