What You Should Know

Mission Zero Net Carb Original tortillas arrive in a clear plastic sleeve (8.89 oz) and sit alongside other tortillas and flatbreads in the bread & tortillas aisle — often shelved near diet-focused items like low-carb mixes, keto snacks, and specialty wraps rather than with fresh refrigerated tortillas. They are marketed as a grocery cart pick for people counting carbs, calories or sugar, and commonly show up on shopping lists for weekly meal-prep runs and specialty-diet trips. The brand leans on Mission’s mainstream, cross-cultural identity (Mexican-inspired convenience food) while courting keto and low-carb consumers with the “Zero Net Carbs” health halo and “natural flavors” callouts; there’s no organic certification and the package copy is geared to adults focused on weight or blood-glucose management rather than children. Sensory notes: each tortilla is very thin, pliable and slightly elastic, with a neutral, mildly savory base flavor and a faint sweet/chemical aftertaste from steviol glycosides and flavorings; the mouthfeel can be slightly gummy or engineered-smooth from cellulose gum and starch components. Typical rituals include warming on a skillet for quick tacos, rolling into breakfast burritos for meal-prep, or using as a low-carb sandwich wrap on busy weeknights. From a processing standpoint, this is a highly formulated convenience product built from isolated wheat proteins, modified starches, emulsifiers, preservatives and interesterified/hydrogenated shortenings — designed for long shelf life, consistent texture and reliable cooking performance in American grocery culture.
