What we flagged

IngredientVerdictWhy
Corn Syrup Caution Refined glucose syrup from corn starch.
Carrageenan Not approved Linked in animal studies to gut inflammation; banned in EU infant formula.
Sugar (Refined) Caution Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) Not approved Industrially produced via enzymatic conversion of corn starch; strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction.
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 Flavor Caution Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
Xanthan Gum Caution Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals.
Soy Lecithin Caution Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic.
Mono- and Diglycerides Caution Often contain trans fats below the 0.5g labeling threshold.
