What we flagged

Ingredient	Verdict	Why
Sugar (Refined)	Caution	Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
Soybean Oil	Not approved	Industrial seed oil, high in oxidation-prone linoleic acid; typically hexane-extracted.
Dextrose	Caution	Refined glucose, typically from corn.
Artificial Flavors	Not approved	Undisclosed synthetic flavoring compounds.
Mono- and Diglycerides	Caution	Often contain trans fats below the 0.5g labeling threshold.
Milk Powder	Caution	Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol.
Soy Lecithin	Caution	Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic.
Invert Sugar	Caution	Sugar split into glucose and fructose; equivalent metabolic load to HFCS.
Potassium Sorbate	Caution	Generally regarded as safe but may cause skin reactions; one of the better-tolerated synthetic preservatives.
Polysorbate 60	Caution	Synthetic surfactant.
Natural Flavor	Caution	Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
