Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone)

A petroleum-based preservative found in crackers and nuggets. High doses have been linked to stomach tumors and DNA damage in animal studies.

Moderate Caution

Soybean Oil

A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Cottonseed Oil

Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.

Full Ingredients List:

Degermed yellow cornmeal, vegetable oil (palm and/or cottonseed oil), dried potatoes, water, whey, salt, dextrose, torula yeast, spices including mustard, TBHQ, monosodium glutamate, spice extractives including paprika, tomato powder, mono - and diglycerides, soybean oil, silicon dioxide, natural and artificial flavor, garlic powder.
