Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

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.

Cyclamate

Banned in the US since 1969 due to cancer risks, but still legal and common in Canada and Europe.

Moderate Caution

Aspartame

One of the most controversial artificial sweeteners (found in Diet Coke). While deemed safe by major health orgs, some consumers report headaches, dizziness, and neurological sensitivity.

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.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Plant protein boiled in acid. It creates free glutamate (MSG) as a byproduct, triggering similar sensitivities.
