Mission Multi-Grain Flour Tortillas

This product is a HIT!

These new multi-grain tortillas taste great (slightly sweet, which is nice), and come in a re-sealable bag which we love. There’s only 1g of sugar, but much more sodium than we were expecting: 340mg. If you compare to a slice of whole wheat bread that has about 80mg, there’s a significant increase.

Our only real complaint is that the texture of the tortilla is rougher than an average tortilla and we’re worried about cracking when you make a burrito – but it’s a small price to pay for all that great fiber – we love this product!

Retails for $3.99 / 17.5oz.

Oscar Meyer Deli Creations Flatbread Sandwich

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
25	16	8	8	8	4	5	74

If you scroll down you’ll find a flatbread sandwich that got panned and so in contrast we thought we’d include this product to review in comparison.

The bread on this sandwich is thinner and the crust is better – the susceptor included in the packaging cooks it well and thoroughly. The chicken is tender, if a little over-seasoned and there is little resemblance to the photo – especially as the wrap around paper in the image is nowhere to be seen in the actual product – which would make it easier to eat. For what it is this product does actually work well – although we have to say that all the over-packaging is not good for the environment. Available in other varieties.

Retails for $2.99 / 4.9 oz package.

Oscar Meyer Lunchables Juniors Snack Combinations

This new product is aiming for convenience for moms and fun for kids with Honey Grahams in a Teddy Shape, Mozzarella sticks (not actually cheese, but Cheese Product) and Strawberry Yogurt Flavored Dip in separate parts of the container. Well, we'd like to see a kid trying to open this package without making the contents fly across the room - in which case they won't be needing a spoon - which is just as well because there isn't one! If the concept is to use the "yogurt" as a dip only - well then it's just plain messy and the flavor combo doesn't make much sense to us. Unfortunately, we have to say this product is probably the opposite of what we should be giving our kids for a snack. Available in other flavors. Retails for $1.99 / 4.53 oz (2 packs).

Lean Cuisine Flatbread Melts Chicken Philly

This product is a MISS!

Lean Cuisine has blown it on this one. The taste is horrible, the aroma unappetizing and with packaging that when you microwave according to the instructions has the product sticking to it – it deserves its own category below a miss! If the product is supposed to be folded when eaten, then why not package it already folded? But let’s go back to the taste: the flatbread itself is nothing more than a pizza crust and we found it to be far too chewy. Also, they’ve put in a bunch of spices, but we suspect that’s just to mask what the product actually tastes like. We’re also not happy with the fact that this chicken “Philly” was obviously created for consumers who have never actually tasted a real Philly Cheese sandwich. Available in other flavors. Retails for $3.19 / 6.5oz.
