Maltodextrin	Caution	Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar.
Milk Powder	Caution	Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol.
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.
Natural Flavor	Caution	Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
Sodium Phosphate	Caution	Common additive in processed meats and cheeses; high intake linked to kidney stress.
