What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Sodium Phosphate | Caution | Common additive in processed meats and cheeses; high intake linked to kidney stress. |
| Dextrose | Caution | Refined glucose, typically from corn. |
| Carrageenan | Not approved | Linked in animal studies to gut inflammation; banned in EU infant formula. |
| Sodium Nitrite | Caution | Forms carcinogenic nitrosamines when heated with proteins (cured meats). IARC classifies processed meat as Group 1 carcinogen. |
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Soy Lecithin | Caution | Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic. |
