Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

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

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.

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

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.

Autolyzed Yeast

Yeast cells that have broken themselves down. Another common label for hidden MSG used to boost savory flavor.

Disodium Guanylate

Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.

Enriched Flour

Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back in. Acts like pure sugar in the body, spiking insulin.

Full Ingredients List:

Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin b1 [thiamin mononitrate], vitamin b2 [riboflavin], folic acid), vegetable oil (soybean and palm oil with tbhq for freshness), cheese made with skim milk (skim milk, whey protein, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, annatto extract color). contains 2% or less of salt, paprika, whey, buttermilk, cheddar and monterey jack cheese (milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), tomato powder, garlic powder, yeast, monosodium glutamate, natural and artificial flavors, onion powder, corn syrup solids, paprika extract color, autolyzed yeast extract, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, malic acid, sugar, spice extract, annatto extract color, yellow 5, yellow 6, soy lecithin.
