Original Taco Seasoning Mix

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Taco Bell Original Taco Seasoning Mix scores 37/100 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.

Taco Bell Original Taco Seasoning Mix lists 14 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Salt, Garlic, Chili Peppers and Maltodextrin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Taco Bell Original Taco Seasoning Mix scores worse than most spices & seasonings we have scored. A higher-scoring option in spices & seasonings is Jacob’s Pure Kosher Sea Salt at 95/100.
