Is Trader Joe's Spanish Style Rice GERD Friendly?

Description
Savory prepared rice with mild tang and subtle smoky notes; grains cook fluffy yet retain a gentle chew. Commonly served as a quick side for grilled meats, mixed into bowls, or used as a reheatable pantry base. Reviewers praise convenience and consistent texture, while a minority cite uneven seasoning occasionally.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- tomato powder
- dehydrated garlic
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric 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.
