citric acid

Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Frozen taquitos deliver a warm, savory interior with melty consistency and a golden, crisp exterior when baked or fried; commonly used for quick snacks, game-day appetizers and casual family meals. Customer reviews note convenience and satisfying crunch but occasional uneven heating and excess oil, so finishing in oven/air-fryer improves texture.
