Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Enriched Flour

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

Full Ingredients List:

Unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, calcium carbonate, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), cheddar cheese (cultured milk, salt, microbial enzyme), sunflower oil, salt, contains 2% or less of each of the following: sugar, leaving (ammonium bicarbonate, baking soda), natural cheese flavor (cheddar cheese [milk, cultures, salt, enzymes], water, disodium phosphate, enzymes), annatto (for color), spices (cayenne pepper, paprika [for color]), onion powder, enzymes, soy lecithin (an emulsifier).
