| Corn Syrup | Caution | Refined glucose syrup from corn starch. |
| Dextrose | Caution | Refined glucose, typically from corn. |
| Milk Powder | Caution | Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Potassium Sorbate | Caution | Generally regarded as safe but may cause skin reactions; one of the better-tolerated synthetic preservatives. |

| Soybeans | Caution | Typically GMO unless organic; estrogenic compounds in large amounts. |
