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.
Sodium Phosphate	Caution	Common additive in processed meats and cheeses; high intake linked to kidney stress.
Carrageenan	Not approved	Linked in animal studies to gut inflammation; banned in EU infant formula.
Sunflower Oil	Not approved	Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed.
Maltodextrin	Caution	Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar.
