What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetable Oil (unspecified) | Not approved | Generic label almost always refers to a blend of soybean, corn, or canola oil. |
| Partially Hydrogenated Oil | Not approved | Source of artificial trans fats; banned from the US food supply (2018) and across the EU (2021). |
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Corn Syrup | Caution | Refined glucose syrup from corn starch. |
| Milk Powder | Caution | Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol. |
| Soy Lecithin | Caution | Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic. |
| Natural Flavor | Caution | Regulatory category that allows solvent extraction and undisclosed processing aids. Lack of transparency. |
| Potassium Sorbate | Caution | Generally regarded as safe but may cause skin reactions; one of the better-tolerated synthetic preservatives. |
| Calcium Propionate | Caution | Mold inhibitor in bread; some animal studies suggest behavioral effects, human data limited. |
