Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Sodium Benzoate

A preservative used in acidic foods like soda and pickles. When mixed with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), it can form Benzene, a known human carcinogen.

Moderate Caution

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.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

Sunflower Oil

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

Tomatillo, water, canola oil, cilantro, jalapeno puree (jalapeno peppers, citric acid), salt, garlic, dehydrated onion, lime juice (water, lime juice concentrate, lime oil), tapioca maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, sunflower oil, natural flavor, xanthan gum, yellow #5, propylene glycol, yellow #6, blue #1, citric acid, sodium benzoate.
