Boone counts every distinct top-level ingredient named on Taco Bell’s published component lists and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in several components counts once. Where an additive class is followed by a named substance, the substance is counted. Raw covers whole foods and basic kitchen staples such as flour, sugar, salt and oil. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing. Every figure here is a minimum.
