What we flagged

Ingredient	Verdict	Why
Natural Flavor	Caution	Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
Sugar (Refined)	Caution	Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
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.
Soybean Oil	Not approved	Industrial seed oil, high in oxidation-prone linoleic acid; typically hexane-extracted.
Xanthan Gum	Caution	Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals.
Mono- and Diglycerides	Caution	Often contain trans fats below the 0.5g labeling threshold.
