What we flagged

IngredientVerdictWhy
Milk Powder Caution Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol.
Soy Lecithin Caution Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic.
Corn Syrup Caution Refined glucose syrup from corn starch.
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.
Artificial Flavor Not approved Undisclosed synthetic flavoring compounds; no transparency about composition.
Natural Flavor Caution Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency.
Canola Oil Not approved Bred from rapeseed; refined with hexane and high heat. Sometimes labeled "rapeseed oil".
Soybean Oil Not approved Industrial seed oil, high in oxidation-prone linoleic acid; typically hexane-extracted.
Sugar (Refined) Caution Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
Dextrose Caution Refined glucose, typically from corn.
