What we flagged

IngredientVerdictWhy
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 Flavors Caution Regulatory category permitting solvent extraction; composition not disclosed.
Sucralose Not approved Chlorinated sucrose derivative; recent studies link to DNA damage and gut microbiome disruption.
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.
Potassium Sorbate Caution Generally regarded as safe but may cause skin reactions; one of the better-tolerated synthetic preservatives.
Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) Not approved Synthetic sweetener; long-term safety data thin, some studies suggest insulin response.
