Wheat pancake, meat, french fries and sauce. Over the years, “French tacos” have attracted more and more people, especially a younger audience. But this sandwich is a real calorie bomb, according to a study conducted by the national association for the protection of consumers and CLCV users and published this Thursday, May 25th.
The CLCV, which compared five brands of “French tacos” (O’Tacos, Chamas Tacos, Tacos Avenue, Le Tacos de Lyon, and Nawab Kebab), explains that the energy value of 100g of tacos is “looks like a burger” but, compared to their size, they actually bring “almost 3 times as many calories as a burger on average”.
1600 calories on average, or 60% of a teenager’s daily requirement
The association, which brought this topic up because brands do not disclose the nutritional information of their sandwiches, regrets “oversized” tacos that weigh up to a kilogram for size XL. “Study tacos provide an average of 1,600 calories, or 60% of the recommended daily calorie intake for a 14-year-old. For size XL, that’s an average of 2,300 calories, or 90% of the recommended daily allowance. reception”, CLCV is alarmed.
In terms of fat, size M tacos cover 68% of our daily needs, size L 81%, and size XL 138%. Same observation for salt: taco M already brings “totality” daily needs while XL “bring a deuce”. All this without counting additional toppings, as well as carbonated or other sweet drinks.

“When we see that some brands offer sandwiches weighing up to a kilogram and containing 2,500 calories, which is the equivalent of a teenager’s energy needs for a whole day, we consider it necessary and essential to inform consumers. number of calories, summarizes at the LCI microphone Lisa Fowlet, CLCV food mission officer.
So CLCV requires “occasionally eating this type of sandwich”, “I prefer size M or L” AND “Choose just one sauce and avoid suggested toppings.” She also urges retailers to “committed to improving the nutritional quality of their sandwiches.”
