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.
Peanut
One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times.
Tree Nuts
One of the Top 9 Major Allergens (includes Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews). Cross-contamination is common in processing facilities.
Fish
One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Unlike other allergies, fish allergies often develop in adulthood and can cause severe reactions.
