What we flagged
| Ingredient | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar (Refined) | Caution | Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener. |
| Milk Powder | Caution | Dehydrated milk; spray-drying can oxidize cholesterol. |
| Vegetable Oil (unspecified) | Not approved | Generic label almost always refers to a blend of soybean, corn, or canola oil. |
| Sunflower Oil | Not approved | Refined seed oil; high-oleic variants slightly more stable but still industrially processed. |
| Soy Lecithin | Caution | Hexane-extracted from soybeans unless labeled non-GMO/organic. |
| Artificial Flavors | Not approved | Undisclosed synthetic flavoring compounds. |
| Xanthan Gum | Caution | Microbial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals. |
| Corn Oil | Not approved | Industrial seed oil; refined via heat and solvents from a low-oil source crop. |
| Maltodextrin | Caution | Highly processed starch derivative with a glycemic index higher than table sugar. |
| Mono- and Diglycerides | Caution | Often contain trans fats below the 0.5g labeling threshold. |
| Potassium Sorbate | Caution | Generally regarded as safe but may cause skin reactions; one of the better-tolerated synthetic preservatives. |
| Sodium Propionate | Caution | Mold inhibitor; similar to calcium propionate. |
| Blue 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF) | Not approved | Synthetic triarylmethane dye; was banned in France, Norway and Finland until 2008 EU harmonization. |
| Red 40 (Allura Red AC) | Not approved | Synthetic azo dye linked in studies to hyperactivity in children. Mandatory warning label in the EU. |
| Yellow 5 (Tartrazine) | Not approved | Synthetic azo dye associated with hyperactivity in sensitive children; mandatory warning label in the EU. |
