What You Should Know

You’d spot these brown rice tortillas in the tortilla/wrap aisle or the gluten‑free section, grabbed by shoppers seeking a rice-based alternative to wheat. They give a wholesome, practical vibe—easy for wraps, meal prep, or quick lunches—but their smooth, pliable texture and inclusion of gums and processed starches point to industrial formulation. The presence of xanthan, psyllium and refined flours suggests a NOVA 4 ultra-processed profile despite the ‘brown rice’ positioning.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The ingredient list includes processed starches and additives (xanthan, psyllium) and industrially formulated components to achieve texture and shelf life, consistent with NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods. While based on whole-grain flour, the multiple additives and modified ingredients indicate substantial industrial processing.
