Common questions

Is Goya ENRICHED MEDIUM GRAIN RICE healthy?

Goya ENRICHED MEDIUM GRAIN RICE scores 0/100 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, plus lab results from its product family, Goya Enriched Medium Grain Rice. 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.
