Common questions

Is Goya Enriched rice healthy?

Goya Enriched 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 Canilla Extra Long 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.

What is in Goya Enriched rice?

Goya Enriched rice lists 3 ingredients, starting with Long Grain Rice Enriched With Iron (Ferric Orthophosphate), Niacin and Thiamine (Thiamine Mononitrate) and Folic Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Goya Enriched rice contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Goya Enriched rice’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
