What we flagged

Ingredient	Verdict	Why
Soybean Oil	Not approved	Industrial seed oil, high in oxidation-prone linoleic acid; typically hexane-extracted.
Milk Powder	Caution	Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol.
Sodium Phosphate	Caution	Common additive in processed meats and cheeses; high intake linked to kidney stress.
Mono- and Diglycerides	Caution	Often contain trans fats below the 0.5g labeling threshold.
Natural Flavor	Caution	Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
Xanthan Gum	Caution	Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals.
Sugar (Refined)	Caution	Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
Natural Flavors	Caution	Regulatory category permitting solvent extraction; composition not disclosed.
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.
