8 not-approved ingredients detected; 7 banned in at least one country
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Glucose Syrup | Not approved | Industrial sugar syrup hydrolyzed from starch — almost always GMO corn or wheat in the US/EU food supply. Functionally similar to corn syrup; same metabolic concerns (rapid glycemic load, fructose-glucose imbalance) plus the GMO sourcing. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Dextrose | Caution | Refined glucose, typically from corn. |
| Soy Lecithin | Caution | Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic. |
| Titanium Dioxide | Not approved | Banned as a food additive across the EU in 2022 after EFSA could not rule out genotoxicity from nanoparticles. |
| Red 3 (Erythrosine) | Not approved | Banned from US food (Jan 2025) and cosmetics (1990) after rat studies linked it to thyroid tumors. |
| Red 40 (Allura Red AC) | Not approved | Synthetic azo dye linked in studies to hyperactivity in children. Mandatory warning label in the EU. |
| Blue 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF) | Not approved | Synthetic triarylmethane dye; was banned in France, Norway and Finland until 2008 EU harmonization. |
| Canola Oil | Not approved | Bred from rapeseed; refined with hexane and high heat. Sometimes labeled "rapeseed oil". |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
