What we flagged

Ingredient	Verdict	Why
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.
Canola Oil	Not approved	Bred from rapeseed; refined with hexane and high heat. Sometimes labeled "rapeseed oil".
Sugar (Refined)	Caution	Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
Xanthan Gum	Caution	Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals.
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)	Caution	Emulsifier shown in 2022 NIH study to alter gut microbiota in humans.
