GOOD & GATHER · 0/100 · Not approved
2 not-approved ingredients detected
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
| Organic 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. |
| Invert Sugar | Caution | Sugar split into glucose and fructose; equivalent metabolic load to HFCS. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Maltodextrin | Caution | Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar. |
