THE CORN
At Tortilleria Mi Niña®, we source our non-GMO White Corn from Rovey Seed Co. in Illinois.

When we partnered up with local restaurant chain Boloco, they sent out an investigator to report on some of their ingredient sources. Check out this amazing video as they travel to Farmersville, Illinois and then back to our old facility in Everett, Ma to watch their tortilla chips in production.
THE OIL
We source our high quality oil from 5th generation family owned business, Catania Oils located in Ayer, MA. As a consumer, you can be happy to know our chips are made by frying our freshly made corn tortillas in 100% Non-GMO oils. We recently started using Sunflower Oil as our main fry oil because of its clean taste, stability, and nutritional value. What this means for you? Our oils have no Trans Fats, no preservatives, and are higher in good monounsaturated fats than other oils.
At Tortilleria Mi Niña® we are also concerned with our impact on the environment. All of our waste oil is given to a local company to be turned into Bio Diesel.
At Tortilleria Mi Niña® we are committed to using the best ingredients.

We decided to go through the process of becoming a Verified product so you as a consumer can rest assured knowing that our products are being produced following the best practices for GMO avoidance.
