KIKKOMAN · 10/100 · Not approved
1 not-approved ingredient detected
What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Soybeans | Caution | Typically GMO unless organic; estrogenic compounds in large amounts. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Alcohol | Caution | Contains alcohol. Flagged for anyone avoiding alcohol — including for religious reasons (not halal), during pregnancy, or by personal choice. |
| Modified Food Starch | Not approved | Industrially modified starch (chemical, enzymatic, or physical processing — label rarely specifies which). Common GMO source (corn/wheat/tapioca), and several modification agents (propylene oxide, sodium hydroxide) are flagged in EU regulatory reviews. Editorial position: not what we'd stock. |
| Xanthan Gum | Caution | Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals. |
