Cinnamon Twists Ingredients and Allergens

Ingredients

Including the canola oil used to cook the dough, this treat contains ten ingredients. Here are the ingredients for the dough and the cinnamon and sugar coating.

  • Cinnamon Twists: Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Meal, Rice Flour, Salt.
  • Cinnamon and Sugar Coating: Sugar, Cinnamon, Soybean Oil, Maltodextrin or Dextrin, Natural Flavors.

Dextrins are natural carbohydrates in potatoes, corn, rice, and other vegetables and grains.  The additive is often used in the production of food as a thickening and preserving agent.

This partially hydrolyzed starch* helps to keep ingredients combined. In that regard, it can be thought of as a binding product.

Food producers often use dextrin to enhance the crispness of fried foods.  It’s also used as a fat replacer and to impart a glossiness in glazes.

*Note: A partially hydrolyzed starch means it is balanced between being a soluble glucose and an insoluble starch..

Allergens

There are only ten ingredients in the Cinnamon Twists at Taco Bell. One ingredient in that list is wheat flour. This food item contains gluten.
