SANTA ROSA, Calif. & MOUNDRIDGE, Kan.–Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, La Tortilla Factory and Tortilla King, Flagship Food Group announced today the launch of its Carb Cutting™ line-up of tortillas. Included in the line-up is the industry first, full sized Keto-friendly, Zero Net Carb tortilla. Launched under the La Tortilla Factory brand, the Carb Cutting line includes the Zero Net Carb tortilla, 4 gram Net Carb flour tortilla, and 4 gram Net Carb Whole Wheat tortilla. All tortillas are soft taco size which is the first Zero Net Carb product of this size to market. The Carb Cutting product line comes at a time when consumers are demanding more reduced carb and keto-friendly options in the tortilla segment.
