What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetable Oil (unspecified) | Not approved | Generic label almost always refers to a blend of soybean, corn, or canola oil. |
| Cane Sugar | Not approved | Refined sucrose. Editorial position: drives chronic low-grade inflammation, dysregulates the gut microbiome, and contributes to weight gain at the dose found in everyday processed food. Yummylogy does not endorse cane sugar as an ingredient regardless of organic status. |
| Soybeans | Caution | Typically GMO unless organic; estrogenic compounds in large amounts. |
| Alcohol | Caution | Contains alcohol. Flagged for anyone avoiding alcohol — including for religious reasons (not halal), during pregnancy, or by personal choice. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
