3 not-approved ingredients detected
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Soybean Oil | Not approved | Industrial seed oil, high in oxidation-prone linoleic acid; typically hexane-extracted. |
| 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 Flavors | Caution | Regulatory category permitting solvent extraction; composition not disclosed. |
| Xanthan Gum | Caution | Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals. |
| Corn Oil | Not approved | Industrial seed oil; refined via heat and solvents from a low-oil source crop. |
| Maltodextrin | Caution | Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar. |
| Milk Powder | Caution | Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
