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.
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.
Natural Flavor	Caution	Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
