Product Insights
TACO SHELLS are crunchy corn‑based taco shells marketed as a gluten‑free snack and belong to the cereals and potatoes / bread family. They carry a Nutri‑Score of C and are classified in NOVA group 3, offering high fiber (5.7 g/100 g) and low sugar (0.8 g/100 g) but also a high fat content (25.1 g/100 g) and a moderate amount of saturated fat (2.2 g/100 g), while salt is relatively low at 0.35 g/100 g. The simple ingredient list, limed corn flour, palm oil and salt, makes them suitable for gluten‑free and vegan diets, though the use of palm oil raises sustainability concerns.
