What it is
A tortilla made without added preservatives. It is a type of flatbread traditionally made from corn masa or wheat flour, water, and salt. "Preservative-free" indicates that no artificial preservatives were added during its production.
Why it's used
Manufacturers offer preservative-free tortillas for consumers seeking products with fewer additives. They function as a base for wraps, burritos, quesadillas, and other dishes. These tortillas are often found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores.
Health notes
Preservative-free tortillas do not contain added artificial preservatives, which some consumers prefer to avoid. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes preservatives as safe (GRAS) when used according to regulations. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also evaluate food additives. No specific health concerns are associated with the absence of preservatives in this product.
Allergen info
Wheat flour tortillas contain wheat, a major allergen. Corn tortillas are not derived from major allergens. Gluten is present in wheat tortillas but absent in corn tortillas.
