Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Azodicarbonamide (ADA)

The infamous 'Yoga Mat Chemical' used to bleach flour and condition dough. When baked, it can form urethane, a carcinogen. Banned in Europe and Australia.

Mono- and Diglycerides

Emulsifiers that can contain small amounts of trans fats, but loophole laws allow foods containing them to be labeled '0g Trans Fat'.

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.

Enriched Flour

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

Full Ingredients List:

enriched flour bleached (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, contains 2% or less of: vital wheat gluten, sugar, dextrose, leavening (glucono delta-lactone, baking soda), soybean oil, salt, potassium chloride, hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean, palm, and/or cottonseed), natural and artificial flavor, mono and diglycerides, xanthan gum, yeast, yeast extract, azodicarbonamide (dough conditioner),
