Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Fish

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Unlike other allergies, fish allergies often develop in adulthood and can cause severe reactions.

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole)

A waxy solid preservative used to prevent fats from going rancid. The National Toxicology Program classifies it as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen'.

Moderate Caution

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.

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health.

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.

Disodium Guanylate

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