|---|---|---|
| Corn Syrup | Caution | Refined glucose syrup from corn starch. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Cane Sugar | Not approved | Refined sucrose. Editorial position: drives chronic low-grade inflammation, dysregulates the gut microbiome, and contributes to weight gain at the dose found in everyday processed food. Yummylogy does not endorse cane sugar as an ingredient regardless of organic status. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Vegetable Oil (unspecified) | Not approved | Generic label almost always refers to a blend of soybean, corn, or canola oil. |
