Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Peanut

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times.

Moderate Caution

Yellow 5 (Tartrazine)

A synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye derived from coal tar. It is known to cause allergic reactions (like hives) in people with aspirin intolerance and has been linked to behavioral changes in children.

Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow)

A synthetic food dye used in cheese, candy, and soda. Some animal studies have linked it to adrenal tumors, though the FDA currently deems it safe for consumption.

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.

Sesame

Recently added as the 9th Major Allergen in the US. Sesame is often hidden in 'natural flavors' or spice blends, making it dangerous for allergic individuals.

Maltodextrin

A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.

Rice crackers (glutinous rice, soy sauce [water, soybeans, wheat, salt], sugar, chili powder, seaweed, sesame seeds, yellow 5, yellow 6), peanuts (peanuts, peanut oil, salt), honey roasted sesame sticks (enriched wheat flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], soybean oil, sesame seeds, honey coating [sugar, honey, wheat starch], bulgur wheat, tack blend [maltodextrin, xanthan gum], salt, beet powder [color], turmeric [color]), honey roasted peanuts (peanuts, sugar, honey, peanut oil, sea salt, tapioca starch), wasabi peas (green peas, modified cornstarch, cornstarch, sugar, salt, soybean oil, wasabi, yellow 5, blue 1), chili crackers (glutinous rice, soy sauce [water, soybeans, wheat, salt], sugar, chili powder, yellow 5, yellow 6), almonds (almonds, peanut oil, salt), cashews (cashews, peanut oil, salt).
