• NOVA-4 ultra-processed; carries Mexico's excess-calorie and sodium seals

Ingredients (9)

• Refined wheat flour (concerning) — Stripped of bran and germ, so it acts like fast sugar with little fiber.
• Added Sugar (concerning) — Extra sugar in a bread that doesn't need it; adds empty calories and blood-sugar load.
• Vegetable oil (soy lecithin) (moderate) — Refined oil for softness; emulsified with soy lecithin, typical of processed bread.
• yeast (safe) — Used in the breadcrumb; benign.
• wheat gluten (moderate) — Added protein/structure; harmless for most but a problem for those avoiding gluten.
• Iodized Salt (safe) — Common salt; iodine is a plus in small amounts.
• POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (safe) — Salt substitute for seasoning.
• datem (moderate) — Emulsifier and dough conditioner used to make refined flour behave; a marker of industrial bread.
• enzymes (moderate) — Processing aids that soften texture and extend shelf life of cheap flour.
