Mission Foods is expanding its ‘better-for-you’ range with three new tortilla products, aiming to satisfy the cravings of health-conscious consumers. The new tortillas are available in three varieties: Zero Net Carbs Sriracha Ranch tortillas, Carb Balance Chipotle tortillas and larger Carb Balance Burrito tortillas. The Zero Net Carbs Sriracha Ranch tortilla follows the brand’s other Zero Net Carbs tortillas launched last year, while the Carb Balance Chipotle product is a fajita-sized tortilla flavoured with fire-roasted jalapeños and containing only 1g net carbs. The Carb Balance Burrito brings the lower-carb formula to a larger burrito-sized tortilla, with only 4g net carbs, aiming to deliver more flavour with lower carb content than traditional large tortilla products. All three products are Keto Certified. The lower carb tortillas are zero sugar and high in fibre, and each new tortilla also contains no trans fats or cholesterol. Juan Gonzalez, CEO of Mission Foods, said: “With these new additions, we are thrilled to give consumers even more options and opportunities to achieve their nutritional goals without sacrificing flavour”. The products are available now at select US grocers and will be rolling out nationwide over the coming months.
