Breakfast burrito

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

El Monterey Breakfast burrito scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

El Monterey Breakfast burrito lists 21 ingredients, starting with Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour, Water, Vegetable Shortening, Whole Eggs and Skim Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 El Monterey Breakfast burrito scores worse than most frozen meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in frozen meals is Amy's Spinach & Ricotta Cheese Ravioli Bowl at 92/100.
