2 not-approved ingredients detected
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. |
| 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. |
| Milk Powder | Caution | Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol. |
| Xanthan Gum | Caution | Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals. |
| Sodium Phosphate | Caution | Common additive in processed meats and cheeses; high intake linked to kidney stress. |
| Dextrose | Caution | Refined glucose, typically from corn. |
