Mini Chicken Tacos

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Tacos scores 56/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Tacos lists 19 ingredients, starting with Corn Tortilla, Water, Yellow Corn Masa Flour, Corn Treated With Hydrated Lime and White Corn Masa Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Tacos lands mid-scale — below the typical score in prepared meals, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amy's Organic Medium Chili at 100/100.
