What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Enriched Wheat Flour | Caution | Refined flour stripped of bran/germ and fortified with synthetic vitamins to replace lost nutrients. |
| Canola Oil | Not approved | Bred from rapeseed; refined with hexane and high heat. Sometimes labeled "rapeseed oil". |
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
| Soy Lecithin | Caution | Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Maltodextrin | Caution | Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar. |
| Soybeans | Caution | Typically GMO unless organic; estrogenic compounds in large amounts. |
| Corn Syrup | Caution | Refined glucose syrup from corn starch. |
| Rice Bran Oil | Not approved | Industrial seed oil. |
| Alcohol | Caution | Contains alcohol. Flagged for anyone avoiding alcohol — including for religious reasons (not halal), during pregnancy, or by personal choice. |
| Caramel Color (generic) | Caution | Without a Class number, manufacturer-disclosed type is unknown; Class III/IV variants (most common in colas) contain 4-MeI, a California Prop 65 carcinogen. |
| Disodium Phosphate | Caution | Emulsifying salt used in processed cheeses. |
| Xanthan Gum | Caution | Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals. |
| Dextrose | Caution | Refined glucose, typically from corn. |
