What You Should Know

Mission Yellow Corn Tortilla Extra Thin (16 oz) is a familiar grocery staple found in the refrigerated tortilla and ethnic foods section, shelved near other tortillas, wraps, soft taco kits, and bagged tortilla chips. The package leans on heritage messaging — “authentic tradition,” “premium quality,” and “certified gluten free” — positioning the product for shoppers seeking a reliable, culturally rooted corn tortilla that fits gluten-free diets. It’s marketed to busy households and shoppers who want an approachable taste of Mexico without specialty-store shopping; the brand evokes family meals, weeknight tacos, and casual entertaining. Label characteristics include a clear gluten-free certification and “authentic” claims; there is no organic or kid-specific branding and the copy emphasizes freshness and traditional corn masa flour rather than artificial flavors. In plain processing terms, these are factory-made tortillas using masa flour and water with small amounts of gums and preservatives to extend shelf life. Sensory details: the “extra thin” format yields a pliable, soft mouthfeel when warmed and a tendency to crisp pleasantly at the edges when toasted or turned into chips. The clear plastic, resealable-style package makes them convenient for fridge storage; ritual uses include quick skillet-warming, stacking for soft tacos, rolling for burritos, or crisping for tostadas. This product sits squarely in everyday American grocery culture as a versatile, convenient base for Mexican-inspired meals, potlucks, and snack-time improvisation for people who want traditional corn flavor with modern shelf stability.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made primarily from corn masa flour and water but includes industrial additives (cellulose and guar gums, preservatives) for shelf life; this places it in the processed-food category rather than minimally processed or highly formulated ultra-processed products.
